Preparation
Step 1
Remove cheese curds from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. In a large bowl, mix together the pancake mix, eggs, beer, salt and pepper until combined, then set aside.
Heat 3 inches of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 425º F.
Working in batches, dip cheese curds in batter, then shake off excess and place curds in oil. Fry for 1 minute, or until golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, hot sauce and garlic powder. Taste and add more hot sauce if desired.
Place cheese curds on a serving dish and garnish with parsley. Serve with dipping sauce and enjoy!
