Our Tips
Chef's tips for making this recipe
For an even more authentic taste, serve with homemade gravy. Don't overcrowd the fryer; cook small batches. To prevent the cheese from escaping during cooking, ensure the dough is well-sealed around it. Another tip: let the bites rest for a few minutes after frying to keep the crust nice and crispy.
