Instructions for Deep-Frying Mushrooms
- 1
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. If they are large, slice them in half or quarters.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and thick.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 4
Coat the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Mushrooms
Carefully place the coated mushrooms in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
