Let's make something good
How to make it
6 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot to 375°F (190°C).
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Stir in the beaten egg and slowly whisk
Stir in the beaten egg and slowly whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth.
Coat the chilled cheese curds
Coat the chilled cheese curds in the batter a few at a time.
Carefully drop the battered curds
Carefully drop the battered curds into the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.
2 minRemove with a slotted spoon
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately while warm.
A little kitchen wisdom
For the best 'squeak,' use the freshest cheese curds you can find. Keep the curds chilled until the moment they are ready to be battered to prevent them from melting too quickly in the oil.
