Mushroom Fritti
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems if necessary. Pat them dry and set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold water, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mushrooms with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
