Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Insert a wooden stick into each mozzarella stick, pushing about halfway. Freeze for 30 minutes to keep cheese from melting too fast.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add milk and egg; stir until smooth batter forms.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each frozen cheese stick into batter, coating evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Carefully place coated sticks into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.

  5. Step 5

    Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
