Unhoneymooners: Olive's Fried Cheese Curd recipe
Christina Lauren's Unhoneymooners: Fried Cheese Curd recipe from the Minnesota State Fair when Olive and Ethan first met.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Cheese Curds
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cup club soda
- canola oil, or any frying oil as needed
Instructions
- Toss the cheese curds with a 1-2 tablespoons of flour. Lightly coat the cheese curds with the flour and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together until combined. Whisk in the club soda. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- In a heavy bottom pan, pour enough oil until it's 3 inches deep. Place over medium high heat until it reaches 375F.
- Dip the cheese curds in the batter (a few at a time to avoid loosing the curds). Using a spoon, drain off any excess batter and gently drop them into the hot oil.
- Fry the curds until lightly golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels once ready. Repeat with the remaining cheese curds.
