State Fair Cheese Curds

What says state fair more than deep-fried cheese curds? While there may not be a Minnesota State Fair this year we are still finding ways to enjoy some of our favorites. Today we are making our own state fair cheese curds!

Beer Battered Cheese CurdsTo make your own cheese curds at home you will need the following –

Peanut Oil or other high-quality oil
1 C Flour
1/4 C Milk
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 C Beer
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
2 lbs Cheese Curds
Flour
Deep Fryer

Little tip – You are going to want the cheese curds to be frozen. So either toss them in the freezer the night before or for an hour before you want to make them. This helps the cheese to not become rubbery when it’s cooking.

Take a larger bowl and combine the flour, milk, baking soda, beer, salt and eggs. With a whisk, mix until the batter is smooth.

Pour the oil in the deep fryer and bring to 400. I prefer using peanut oil when I’m frying foods because it doesn’t alter the flavor but I do understand that it can be expensive. Canola oil will work too.

In a medium bowl, place a scoop of flour. You are going to toss the cheese curds in the flour before you place them in the batter. You want to get a nice little dusting of flour all over the cheese curds.

Place the cheese curds in the batter and get an even coating all around. Shake the excess batter off.

Place about 8 cheese curds in the hot oil. Do not do much more because the frozen cheese is going to lower the temperature fo the oil and you don’t want it to be lowered too much.

Fry the cheese cruds for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

Remove from hot oil and place on a few paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Enjoy these hot or warm. This is a dish you want to enjoy right away.
