Mushrooms

Method

Preparing the Mushrooms

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Rinse the button mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the stems if desired.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Dip the Mushrooms

    In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. Dip each mushroom into the buttermilk, coating it thoroughly, then dredge it in the flour mixture until fully coated.

Frying the Mushrooms

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Carefully place the coated mushrooms in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Drain the Mushrooms

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Making the Ranch Dressing

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 8

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the deep-fried mushrooms hot on a plate alongside a small bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.
