Culver’s Wisconsin Cheese Curds Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh white cheddar cheese curds (preferably from Wisconsin)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk if you don’t have buttermilk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  • Prep the Cheese Curds:
    • Cut your cheese curds into bite-sized pieces (if not already cut). Make sure the curds are cold, as it helps keep the cheese from melting too quickly during frying.
  • Make the Coating:
    • In a shallow bowl, mix the 1 cup flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    • In another shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
    • In a third shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Coat the Cheese Curds:
    • Dredge each cheese curd in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
    • Dip it into the buttermilk and egg mixture, then coat it again in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
    • For an extra crispy coating, you can repeat the process (dipping in flour, buttermilk, and breadcrumbs a second time).
  • Heat the Oil:
    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to about 375°F (190°C). You need enough oil to submerge the cheese curds.
  • Fry the Cheese Curds:
    • Carefully drop the coated cheese curds into the hot oil in batches. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
    • Remove the curds from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
  • Serve:
    • Serve the cheese curds hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, marinara, or even a tangy buffalo sauce. Enjoy!
