Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add peanut oil to a deep fryer or to a Dutch oven until it reaches about 4 inches up the sides. Heat oil to 375°F. Make the batter In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the buttermilk and club soda or beer until smooth. Dip the curds, and fry Add the cheese curds to the bowl and coat them in the batter. Carefully add the cheese curds a handful at a time, not touching into the hot oil. Place the bowl back into the fridge so everything stays cold. Let them fry for about 1 minute, flipping halfway through until lightly golden brown. Remove and devour Take them out of the oil, letting excess oil drip off. Place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil. Place the cheese curds on a wire rack that is placed on top of a sheet tray while you fry the remaining curds. Serve immediately with marinara and ranch for dipping.
