Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Semolina
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
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 350°F (175°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!
