Ingredients
125g butter
100g hot sauce
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
450g halloumi, cut into chunky slices
250ml buttermilk
40ml hot sauce
250g flour
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp cayenne
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
Vegetable oil, to fry
For the ranch dip:
75ml mayonnaise
50ml sour cream
25ml buttermilk
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp chopped chives
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp pepper
Instructions
Put the buttermilk in a large bowl and add the hot sauce. Throw in the halloumi, stir until covered then pop it in the fridge for 20 mins to marinade.
Put the butter, hot sauce, ketchup, white wine vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan and heat gently until melted. Whisk together to combine, bring to the boil then remove from the heat.
Combine all of the ranch dip ingredients in a bowl, then set aside in the fridge.
In the meantime, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and salt together in a large bowl.
Remove the halloumi from the buttermilk and shake to remove the excess. Dredge in the spiced flour mixture.
Fill a large sturdy pan a third of the way with vegetable oil, and heat to 180 degrees. Carefully pop the halloumi in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 mins, or until the exterior is crisp, golden and bubbly.
Add the halloumi to a large bowl and pour over the buffalo sauce, stirring to coat them fully.
Serve immediately with the ranch dipping sauce.
