Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems if needed.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Place breadcrumbs in a separate large shallow bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat to about 180°C (350°F).
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.
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.
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.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining mushrooms.
Serve the fried mushrooms hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
