Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
  • 8 oz cheese curds, any variety (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 8 wooden skewers
  • Condiments, if desired (ranch dressing, Sriracha sauce, ketchup, flavored jam)

Steps

  • 1
    In deep fryer or 3-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F.
  • 2
    Unroll dough, and cut lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut crosswise into 8 rows, making 32 squares.
  • 3
    Roll piece of dough around each cheese curd (no larger than 1 inch); stretch dough, and press to seal edges and completely cover cheese curd.
  • 4
    Fry cheese curds 8 at a time, about 1 minute, turning occasionally until dough is completely cooked through and deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and keep warm.
  • 5
    Thread 4 cheese curds on each wooden skewer. Serve immediately with condiments.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Customize your cheese curds by serving with various dippers--spicy, sweet or both!
  • tip 2
    Can't find cheese curds in your grocery store? Use mozzarella sticks instead OR your favorite variety of cheese stick, such as Colby Jack, pepper Jack, Cheddar.
