Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh button mushrooms
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 5 grams Garlic powder
- 5 grams Onion powder
- 3 grams Black pepper, ground
- 5 grams Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 150 grams Unsalted breadcrumbs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Instructions
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and combine them with the buttermilk to make an egg wash.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each mushroom first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg wash allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
Set aside the breaded mushrooms on a tray while you heat the oil.
In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should reach around 180°C (350°F).
Carefully add the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the mushrooms from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
