Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth and remove the stems if desired. Pat them dry.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Dip each mushroom in the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

  5. 5

    Drain and Garnish

    Once fried, transfer the mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
