So! I decided to try to make mozzarella cheese sticks! What happened next will go down in history.

So i found a deep fryer :biggrin: Then I got some pre-made cheese sticks (string cheese to be exact) and some egg, flour, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. I get a bowl and mix in the egg, flour, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Well i didnt put enough flour in the first time so they weren't sticking to the cheese. I put more flour in, still wouldn't stick. Said hell with it, just put them in anyways. So i put it in the fryer and well, the cheese melted.

So I'm like " ", in those exact words! So then i wonder... did my father give me flour? I know when i tried the onion rings, the batter stuck perfectly... So i taste the "flour" and yes, it was powdered sugar, not flour. I pretty much made molasses.

Attempt #2:

So I put out 2 dishes and a bowl. I put flour , salt and pepper in hte first dish, egg in the bowl, and bread crumbs in the second dish. Flour up the cheese sticks, toss them in the egg, bust out the bread crumbs and BOOM! It works! I enjoyed me some cheese sticks :biggrin:

Because i have just achieved in one deep fryer more then you will ever achieve in your life
 
But I still don't care...
 
Yum! Make me some! With a side of marinara sauce, please.

So you've now mastered onion rings and cheese sticks. What's next on your list, Pengwuino? Maybe buffalo wings? I think the next PF Superbowl party should be at your house. :approve:
 
When did i master onion rings? Onion rings humiliated me and then killed my dog. And then they killed my house!

oh, too bad. I thought you'd gotten the hang of that. When you decide to give the deep fryer a rest, I'll teach you how to make oven-baked fries and sweet potato sticks. Good, and good for ya!
 
just buy one of those fried onion blossom kits at the grocery store

how can you not be able to tell the difference? powdered sugar is like talc. pastry flour is like that too but all purpose flour is way coarser. i would have thought most people could tell the difference just by touching them.

Say what?! Are trying to tell me that those things are commercially available? I've sure never seen one in a store. Is that some Yank specialty?

Lots of stores sell them.

Here's a place online that sells the kit. http://shop.brylanehome.com/product-123/7483/85368/1.htm

:smile: With fish sauce, I think. :biggrin:

I think pengwuin-Os can be served with any of the above, however Pengwuin Poppers should only be served with fish sauce.

If it's any consolation, one of my friends made a sauce to pour over a cake and mixed up the salt and sugar (he buys both in bulk and mixed up the cannisters...I've never known anyone else to keep salt in a cannister) and didn't realize it until he had just poured it over the entire cake (one he made from scratch that takes a LONG time to prepare) and licked some off his finger when done. :cry: Then again, salt and sugar seem a little easier to confuse than flour and powdered sugar. :wink: :smile:
