1
Clean the Mushrooms
Wash the mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Slice the Mushrooms
Cut the mushrooms into thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick.

3
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
4
Add Water
Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients while whisking to create a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.

5
Heat Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Batter the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
7
Fry the Mushrooms
Carefully place the battered mushrooms into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
8
Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

9
Serve
Serve the fried mushrooms hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
