Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cremini or button mushrooms
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 60 g Cornstarch
- 5 g Baking powder
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 5 g Onion powder
- 5 g Paprika
- 5 g Salt
- 2 g Black pepper
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 10 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 150 g Panko breadcrumbs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them quickly under cold water and patting dry. Remove the stems if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes to create a non-dairy 'buttermilk'.
In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Working in batches, dip each mushroom into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the almond milk mixture, and finally coat them well in the panko breadcrumbs.
Carefully place the breaded mushrooms into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining mushrooms.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a dipping sauce of your choice. Enjoy your dairy-free crispy fried mushrooms!
