Deep Fried Widmer Brick Cheese Curds






















INGREDIENTS

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 pound cheese curds or 1/2 inch cubed cheese
Extra flour for coating

DIRECTIONS 


  1. Put cheese curds in the freezer for an hour.
  2. Heat your oil high to 400°
  3. In a  bowl mix the flour, milk, baking soda and egg just until well combined.
  4. In a large baggie add some extra flour.
  5. Toss your frozen cheese curds in the flour so they are lightly coated. 
  6. Coat the flour coated cheese curds in the batter, make sure every side is coated or your cheese will escape.  
  7. Place the battered curds in the oil and fry for a couple minutes until golden brown, turn often.
  8.  Only fry 6-8 curds at a time  for best results.
  9.  Once the curds are golden brown, remove them and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with ranch dressing, or ketchup.
