Step 1
Insert a wooden stick into each mozzarella stick, pushing about halfway. Freeze for 30 minutes to keep cheese from melting too fast.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add milk and egg; stir until smooth batter forms.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each frozen cheese stick into batter, coating evenly.
Step 4
Carefully place coated sticks into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 5
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
