Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup club soda
1 pound cheese curds
4 cups vegetable or canola oil
Marinara sauce, for serving
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the club soda and mix until smooth. Add the cheese curds to the batter and coat thoroughly.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reads 360 degrees F. Fry the cheese curds for about 1 minute, turning halfway through. Drain on paper towels. Serve the fried cheese curds with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.
