Steps:
- Heat oil in deep fryer or skillet to 400 degrees. If using a skillet ensure enough oil is added to cover the curds (approximately 2").
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Add beaten egg and beer and mix till combined. The batter should have the consistency of thin pancake batter. If it is too thick add additional beer as needed. If it is too thin, sprinkle in a little flour.
- Deep fry one cheese curd to test the batter if needed.
- Working in batches, drop cheese curds into the batter and evenly coat then lift cheese out of the batter with a spider or slotted spoon and let the excess batter drip off before placing in the oil.
- Deep fry curds for 1 minute, or until golden brown, then remove the fried curds to drain on paper towels.
- Let cool slightly and serve.

BEER BATTERED CHEESE CURDS
I'm originally from Wisconsin where everyone knows about these. They are wonderful. They sell them at festivals throughout the summer and they are very popular at the state fair. Cheese curds seem to be very difficult to find in places other than Wisconsin, though. Please DO NOT use chunks of regular cheese as it will not hold up during the frying process and is guaranteed to make a mess. Cheese curds are more durable. You could probably use string cheese successfully, although I have not tried this.

Steps:
- Fill a Dutch oven with about 1 inch oil and heat to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Have a paper towel-lined plate or brown paper bag ready for draining the curds. Meanwhile, toss the cheese curds with 1/4 cup flour in a bowl. Whisk the remaining 3/4 cup flour together with the beer, milk, egg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl.
- When the oil is hot, take a handful of the curds, shake off the excess flour, and add them to the batter. Let the excess batter drip off, then add the curds to the oil. Fry until puffed and golden, about 1 minute, then transfer to the paper bag with a strainer or slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining cheese curds.
- Serve immediately with the Ranch dressing.
- Whisk the mayo and buttermilk together with the scallions, parsley, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, a rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a bowl. Transfer to a small serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
