Fried Mushrooms

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems if desired. Cut larger mushrooms in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Dip each mushroom into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
