BEER BATTERED CHEESE CURDS
I'm originally from Wisconsin where everyone knows about these. They are wonderful. They sell them at festivals throughout the summer and they are very popular at the state fair. Cheese curds seem to be very difficult to find in places other than Wisconsin, though. Please DO NOT use chunks of regular cheese as it will not hold up during the frying process and is guaranteed to make a mess. Cheese curds are more durable. You could probably use string cheese successfully, although I have not tried this.

Steps:

Using a slotted spoon to pull them out of batter, shaking off excess batter. Deep fry curds until golden brown. Drain on paper towels
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh cheese curds. If you can't find them, you can substitute shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Make sure the cheese curds are cold before you batter and fry them. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from melting too quickly.
- Use a light hand when breading the cheese curds. Too much breading will make them heavy and greasy.
- Fry the cheese curds in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the cheese curds will not cook evenly.
- Serve the cheese curds immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
