Get ready to roll into snack heaven with **Kart Wheels**, a crispy, cheesy delight that's as fun to make as it is to eat! These golden-brown treats combine the rich flavors of shredded cheddar cheese, a hint of smoky paprika, and garlic powder for a savory bite thatβs simply irresistible. The dough, made with a blend of all-purpose flour and semolina, fries up beautifully to create a perfect crunch. Shaped like miniature wheels, these snacks are ideal for parties, game nights, or simply as a satisfying appetizer. Serve them warm with your favorite dips, or enjoy their cheesy charm on their own. With just 20 minutes of prep time and a quick fry, Kart Wheels are bound to roll their way into your heart (and your menu).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Ensure it's evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
Gradually add the milk, about a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough begins to come together. It should form a firm but pliable dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Using a small round cookie cutter, cut out circles. Then, use a smaller round cutter to punch out the center of each circle, creating the shape of a wheel.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Fry the wheels in small batches until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Remove the wheels with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to get rid of excess oil.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Kart Wheels with a dip of your choice or as is!
