Description
If you cannot wait until the county fair for your deep-fried cheese curds, here’s a recipe to make them yourself using a beer and buttermilk soak before coating and frying.

Preparation
Place cheese curds in mesh strainer. In large, deep bowl, combine buttermilk and beer. Submerge curds in mixture by placing strainer in bowl. Set aside.

In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Set aside.

In large Dutch oven or deep-fryer, heat oil to 375°F. When oil is ready, remove curds from buttermilk beer mixture. Strain well. Toss curds in flour mixture, shaking to remove excess flour. In 3 to 4 batches, fry curds 2 minutes, or until curds begin to turn golden brown. Do not crowd. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
