Ingredients
- 450 grams button mushrooms
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 120 milliliters milk
- 200 grams breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems if needed.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Step 4
Place breadcrumbs in a separate large shallow bowl.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat to about 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Dip each mushroom first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally dredge them in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining mushrooms.
Step 10
Serve the fried mushrooms hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
