1
Clean the Mushrooms
Thoroughly rinse the fresh mushrooms under cold running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2
Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly distributed.
3
Make the Batter
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, pour in the oil for frying and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.
5
Coat the Mushrooms
Dip each cleaned mushroom into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Mushrooms
Carefully place the battered mushrooms into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
