Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup milk (I used half and half)
  • 3/4 cup gluten free beer
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 ounces cheese curds
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying

Method

  • Step 1

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, milk, beer, and salt... whisk until it is smooth and thick like pancake batter.

  • Step 2

    Drop in cheese curds, and use a rubber spatula to fold and coat.

  • Step 3

    Heat oil on medium in a large sauce pan. (I like to shallow fry more than deep fry... so it's not so much oil!)

  • Step 4

    Use a fork to drop in cheese curds one by one, in batches of about 5. Gently swirl in while you're dropping each bit to avoid sticking to pan.

  • Step 5

    Give a gentle shake to pan to further avoid sticking, and swirl to brown on all sides.

  • Step 6

    Remove with slotted spoon, and drain excess oil on paper towel lined plate.

  • Step 7

    Dust with flaky salt while still warm.

  • Step 8

    Serve with your favorite dipping sauce! (I mixed honey and hot sauce together in equal parts)
