Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh button mushrooms
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 180 milliliters Cold sparkling water
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 1000 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half or quarters. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir together until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the egg while whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be thick enough to coat a spoon but still pourable.
Step 5
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for coating.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature for consistent frying.
Step 7
Dip each mushroom into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Then roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Step 8
Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil. Fry in small batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms from the oil. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, aioli, or spicy mayo.
