Ghee-Fried Cheese Curd Fritters with Savory Beef Dust
A sophisticated carnivore snack featuring fresh cheese curds fried in clarified butter (ghee) until golden and crispy outside, yet tender within. These are then dusted with a finely ground, savory beef powder, creating a complex texture and flavor profile that requires careful frying technique and ingredient preparation.
