Golden Fried Cheese Sticks
How do you want to cook it?
Same ingredients. The steps and times below change to suit your kitchen.
Steps· Fryer
- 1
Cut a block of firm cheese (not grated cheese) into 1.5 cm fingers. Freeze them for 30 minutes so they hold their shape.
- 2
Whisk 60 g of the flour with a pinch of salt and about 80 ml ice-cold water into a thick batter.
- 3
Dust the frozen sticks in the remaining flour, dip in the batter, then dip again for a thicker coat.
- 4
Heat the oil in the fryer to 180 C. Never leave hot oil unattended, and keep children and pets away. Fry for 1-2 minutes only, just until golden. Any longer and the cheese leaks out.
- 5
Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and season. Let the oil cool completely before storing or disposing of it safely.
Storage & leftovers
Best eaten fresh; fried food loses its crunch after refrigeration.
Student tip
Don't overcrowd the fryer basket — frying in batches keeps the oil hot and the coating crisp.
