Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 40 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 180 milliliters Milk
• 180 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 liter Vegetable oil
• 120 grams Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the ends of the stems if needed.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl or plate.

Step 5

Set up a breading station: Start with the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture, and end with the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Dip each mushroom into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then dip it into the egg mixture and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs. Set the coated mushrooms aside on a plate.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.

Step 8

Carefully place a few mushrooms into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.

Step 10

For the horseradish sauce, mix together the sour cream, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.

Step 11

Serve the deep-fried mushrooms hot with the horseradish sauce on the side for dipping.
