Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the egg while whisking until the mixture is smooth.
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.
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for coating.
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.
Dip each mushroom into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Then roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil. Fry in small batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms from the oil. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, aioli, or spicy mayo.
