Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat oil, lard, or tallow over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet or saucepan.
  2. Whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot, egg whites, milk, garlic powder, and white pepper to make a thin batter.
  3. Add the curds to the batter a handful at a time.
  4. To determine if the oil is ready for frying, drop a bit of batter into it. If it bubbles and sizzles, it's time!
  5. Using your hands, lift a handful curds out of the batter and shake a couple times to remove excess drops of batter.
  6. Carefully drop the curds into the hot fat, keeping them separate so they don't stick together while frying.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to turn them over, making sure all sides evenly brown.
  8. Lift the fried curds out of the oil and lay them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  9. Continue working in batches until all the curds are fried.
  10. This batter makes enough to fry up to 2 pounds of cheese curds.

Recipe Notes

Serve your mind-blowing grain-free fried cheese curds with my Easy-Peasy Marinara (without meat) and/or my Quick Creamy Probiotic Ranch. We added a bit of cayenne to the marinara for a spicy dipping sauce! YUM!

Packaged cheese curds are easily found where I live, and most are made with clean ingredients. If you want to go all out and make your own curds, check out this Cultured Dairy and Basic Cheesemaking eBook package!
