Ingredients

2 lbs cheese curds
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon garlic salt

1 ½ quarts oil vegetable, canola or peanut oil

Directions

Heat oil to 375˚F. (Use a thermometer and watch carefully)

Whisk together buttermilk, flour, baking soda, garlic salt and egg until smooth.

Coat several cheese curds with batter. If the batter is too thick, add more buttermilk until it is the consistency you want. Or if the batter is too thin, add more flour.

Fry a few at a time, for several seconds, until golden brown.

Drain on paper towel.
