Servings: 7

Enter desired servings:

Container: deep fat fryer or deep saucepan, mixing bowl

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Combine all ingredients (except oil, cheese and dressing) in a mixing bowl.
Cover and chill the batter for at least 15 minutes but can be left overnight if needed.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350Â°.
Use tablespoons or a small scoop to measure batter and form into balls.
May want to flour your hands as the batter is sticky.
Stuff a cheese cube into the center of the batter ball, make sure it is completely enclosed.
Fry in oil in batches, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Let it get nice and golden brown so the inside cooks and the cheese melts a little.
Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain.
Serve with dressing for dipping.
