Beer Battered Mushrooms
Method
Preparation and Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove any stems if necessary. Pat them dry and set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and has no lumps.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 4
Batter the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Mushrooms
Carefully place the battered mushrooms into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with horseradish dipping sauce.
