For this recipe, you can use regular corn meal, fine grind corn meal, or corn flour. Corn meal will produce a slightly grittier texture, whereas corn flour will produce smoother Cheetos.
Continue whisking until all the water has been incorporated and you have a smooth dough.
Use a clean freezer bag if you don’t have a piping bag. Cut a half-inch (1. 3-cm) hole in the bottom corner of the bag, and press the dough toward the hole to pipe it out. [3] X Research source
Repeat until you’ve filled the pan with as many logs as you can fit, but don’t crowd the Cheetos in the pan. You may have to fry them in multiple batches.
For healthier Cheetos, bake them in a 350 F (177 C) oven for 15 to 18 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time.
Once the first batch is out of the pan, allow the oil to come back up to temperature before adding your next batch of dough.
Add more cheese to the bag if necessary, especially after each batch.
Transfer the Cheetos to a serving platter or airtight container for storage, and pour the cheese that collected in the bowl back into the freezer bag.
Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to cream the butter if you don’t have a stand mixer.
Ideal cheese for this recipe is a strong cheese like Monterey Jack or white cheddar.
Chilling the dough will give the flour time to rest, and make the dough easier to handle when you form the cheese curls.
The curls can be positioned close to each other, but make sure they’re not touching.
You can also mix the powder in a food processor by pulsing the ingredients together for 15 seconds.
Repeat with the other half of the curls until all the curls are coated.
