Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • ¼ cup milk, or more as needed

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup grapeseed oil

  • 12 white Cheddar cheese curds

Directions

  1. Whisk milk, egg, flour, baking powder, basil, salt, and garlic powder together in a bowl until batter is the consistency of eggnog.

  2. Heat grapeseed oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cook’s Note

Substitute small mozzarella balls for the cheese curds if desired.

Substitute vegetable oil for the grapeseed oil if desired.
