Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cheese curds
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch

- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Club soda
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions

2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the club soda.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add a little more club soda until you reach the desired consistency.
4. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
5. Pat the cheese curds dry with paper towels to help the batter adhere.
6. Working in batches, dip the cheese curds into the batter, ensuring they are completely coated.
7. Carefully drop the battered cheese curds into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese curds from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
