Mushroom Battering
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems if desired and set aside.
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well mixed. Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.
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 the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it’s ready.
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.
