Fried Mushrooms Recipe

Fried Mushrooms Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mushrooms

   Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems if desired, and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Coat the Mushrooms

   Dip each mushroom into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

5. 5

   Fry the Mushrooms

   Carefully place the coated mushrooms in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
