Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Rinse the button mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Coating the Mushrooms

  1. 4

    Coat the Mushrooms

    Dip each mushroom into the flour and cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, return the mushrooms to the flour mixture to ensure a thick coating.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  2. 6

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  3. 7

    Drain the Mushrooms

    Once golden, remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 8

    Season and Serve

    Sprinkle the fried mushrooms with garlic powder, paprika, and chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your fried mushroom basket hot!
