Breading Mixture

Wet Mixture

Frying

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Rinse the fresh button mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel and remove the stems if desired.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Wet Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until fully combined. Set aside.

Breading and Frying

  1. 4

    Bread the Mushrooms

    Take each mushroom, dip it into the wet mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll it in the breading mixture until evenly coated. Repeat for all mushrooms.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread in; it should sizzle immediately.

  3. 6

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Carefully add the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Serve the fried mushrooms hot as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
