Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)

Fried Cheese Curds

Description

It is fair time in the US… state fairs, county fairs, regional fares, etc. SO, I decided to share a few recipes of food that you’ll find at fairs in the Midwest. Here, in Missouri, we are in the middle of “Dairy Country” (it’s not just in Wisconsin!), and one of the big things here is Fried Cheese Curds! SO… that is one of today’s recipes - and the other if fried pies. Russ is a HUGE fan of both of these… but we love cheese and pies! Next time, I’ll share more fair recipes with you!

Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup beer

2 pounds cheese curds

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3 cups vegetable oil

Directions

In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and beer. Add cheese curds and mix until evenly coated; set aside. In a shallow dish, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper; mix well. In a soup pot over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Remove curds from buttermilk mixture using a slotted spoon, making sure to drain curds well. Place 1/4 of the curds in flour mixture and toss until evenly coated. Place curds in oil making sure not to crowd, and fry 3 to 5 minutes, or until light golden. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining curds; serve immediately.

Notes

For a tasty dipping sauce, try mixing 1/4 cup of ranch dressing with 2 teaspoons of hot sauce. Of course, you can dip your cheese curds into any of your other favorite dipping sauces, too! If you’re having a hard time finding cheese curds in your local supermarket, you can buy them online at The Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery.

Fried Pies

Ingredients

1 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

8 mini peanut butter cups, chopped

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions

If you don’t want chocolate/peanut butter… you can substitute pie filling of any flavor. Unroll one pie crust and, using a knife, square the edges. Cut into 6 squares, 3-1/2-inches wide by 3-1/2-inches long. Place 5-6 chocolate chips in center of square, and a few pieces of peanut butter candy. Fold the dough over the candy, forming triangles. With a fork, press the edges together firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining pie crust and candy. In a medium skillet, over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Place a few pies into skillet and cook 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining pies. Cool slightly before serving.
