1
Clean the Mushrooms
Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Do not soak them in water as they can absorb moisture.
2
Trim the Stems
Trim the stems of the mushrooms if they are too long, but do not remove them completely.

3
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
4
Prepare the Batter
Gradually add cold water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the mushrooms.

5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
6
Fry the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
7
Remove and Drain
Fry the mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8
Serve
Serve the battered mushrooms hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or garlic aioli.
