Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a wide heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, combine the pancake mix, cornmeal and egg in a large bowl. Add 3 cups of water and stir until a thick batter forms. The batter should be thick but pourable; thin with a little more water if needed. Pour the batter into a glass tall enough to completely immerse the length of the cheese.
• Skewer each piece of cheese on a bamboo or wooden chopstick.
• To fry: In batches of three, dip the skewered cheese into the batter, ensuring each piece is covered completely. Slowly lower the cheese into the hot oil. Very quickly, flip the cheese over so all parts of the batter have a chance to set and begin cooking. Cook, flipping frequently, until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve warm with warm marinara sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Cut mozzarella cheese into sticks (approximately 3*1/2*1/2-inches).

• Dip floured cheese stick into egg, then dredge in bread crumb mixture.
• Place on a plate in a single layer.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil or shortening, 1/2-inch deep to 350°F.
• Fry mozzarella sticks a few pieces at a time until browned on all sides (about 3 minutes).
• Drain on paper towels.
• Serve hot with lemon wedges or marinara sauce for dipping.
• ~NOTE~ Preparation time includes 1 hour refrigeration time.

Steps:

• 1. Cut cheese crosswise into 3/4 inch slices. Lay slices flat and cut in half lengthwise. Combine flour and red pepper; stir well. Combine bread crumbs and parsley in another bowl; stir well. Dip cheese sticks in beaten eggs. Dredge in flour mixture. Dip coated cheese in egg again; dredge in bread crumb mixture, pressing firmly so that crumbs adhere. Place cheese sticks on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Fry cheese sticks in 375^ deep oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with marinara sauce or Ranch dressing. --- Note: If you like cream cheese it is awesome fried this way. Use cream cheese cold ,cut in strips. Prepare as above.
