Fried Mushrooms

luvmybge's Note:

At my house, we don't like those fried mushrooms that are black and slimy where the breading slides easily off. This recipe is just a very crisp breading on a fresh mushroom. They'll 'pop' when you cut into them they are so fresh. Panko breadcrumbs are a polished bread crumb that you can find in an Asian market or the International section of your favorite food store and they make just a wonderful crunchier coating, too.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 10 ounces fresh white mushrooms, wiped clean
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups breadcrumbs (Panko if you can find them)

Directions:

1. Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
2. Add water to make a batter.
3. Dip clean mushroom into batter letting excess batter drip off.
4. I find it easier to stick a toothpick into the mushroom to dip it.
5. After dipping into batter roll in Panko breadcrumbs to coat.
6. Deep fry in oil until golden.
7. We like to serve with cocktail sauce.

Perfect! These were very crispy and delicious. I also made fried zucchini. Next time I am going to try onion rings! Thanks for the recipe.

Great recipe. Used beer and Italian seasoning in the batter. Otherwise followed the recipe. Mushrooms were flavorful with a crispy outside. Not greasy or soggy. These went fast with ranch dressing.
