Wisconsin Cheese Curds

Serves 6

Fresh squeaky cheese curds, dipped into a beer batter and deep fried to perfection. A delicious Wisconsin tradition!

Ingredients

24 ounces cheese curds or cheese cubes

1 egg

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1 cup beer

2 quarts oil for frying (I used peanut)

Instructions

Heat oil in fryer or a sauce pan to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whisk egg and add to flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and beer.

Spray the fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.

Coat the curds in the batter and use a slotted spoon to place them into the frying basket.

Place cheese curds into the fryer in small batches - no more than 10 at a time.

Shake the basket to loosen any curds from the bottom of the basket and to separate them while frying.

Deep fry until golden brown - usually 2-4 minutes.

Drain on paper toweling.
