Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Whisk in beer until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

Add cheese curds to the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.

Carefully drop battered cheese curds into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove cheese curds with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with dipping sauces of choice.
