Fried Maitake Slider Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mushrooms

   Clean the maitake mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Tear them into smaller pieces for easier frying.

   Prepare the Breading

   In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

   Dip each piece of maitake into the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.
