These little delights are so delicious, you'll be surprised how many you can eat! Serve as a snack with a yummy dip or as a side to enhance your meal. I normally make this for me and my sister to snack on while we watch the football, and I'll admit we have been known to make a second batch before its even close to halftime! Oops. :/ Hot tip: To make these even more delicious, sprinkle with parmesan cheese after frying.

Ingredients For deep fried mushrooms: battered & crumbed

  • 250-400 g
    white button mushrooms

    flour
  • 1/2 c
    cornflour/starch
  • 1 tsp
    salt
  • 1 c
    water

    breadcrumbs (panko is best for this)
  • 2-3 c
    vegetable oil for deep frying (im just guessing the quantity!)
  • OPTIONAL
  • 2 tsp
    baking powder (i forgot to include this earlier because i dont usually add it, but can give your mushrooms a nice round look if thats what you like. doesnt make a difference for me)
  • Addtional
    some people find this coating bland so if you're worried about it add some herbs or spices. i love it how it is.

How To Make deep fried mushrooms: battered & crumbed

  • 1
    Heat oil to 190 degrees Celcius
  • 2
    Mix dry ingredients (except breadcrumbs) in a bowl and add water to make the batter (pancake consistency or close to it)
  • Dip mushrooms in batter and coat in breadcrumbs. I like to use Panko or Wholegrain breadcrumbs.
    3
    Using a fork or skewer, dip mushroom in batter and let excess drip off. I usually do a few at a time and lean them against the bowl until all the excess has finished dripping off.
  • Deep fry mushrooms until golden (a few minutes, not too long).
    4
    Coat the battered mushroom in breadcrumbs and fry until golden.
  • 5
    Drain on paper towels and let stand for a few minutes as the mushroom will be piping hot inside. Season with salt & pepper as desired.
  • 6
    Serve as a side or as a snack.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
