Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 386kcal
Ingredients
- 16 to 24 ounces whole mushrooms
- 2 1/2 cups flour divided
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 large egg
- 12 ounces beer
- 2 cups Italian bread crumbs
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 26 g Vegetable Oil For frying
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms, and cut off any hard stem pieces.
- Cut large mushrooms into smaller pieces.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl, or a large zip-top bag.
- Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of flour to a large bowl.
- Add 1 large egg and one 12-ounce bottle of beer. Whisk to combine.
- In a 3rd bowl, mix 2 cups Italian bread crumbs with 2 cups of panko in a separate large bowl.
- Add the mushrooms to the seasoned flour and toss to coat the mushrooms with flour.
- Dip the mushrooms, a few at a time into the beer batter, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil to 350 and fry until done.
Notes
- Mushrooms can be pre-breaded and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to fry. Make sure that there are no uncoated pieces of batter or the mushrooms will stick together. I usually add more breadcrumbs between the layers of pre-breaded mushrooms just to be safe.
- Beer can be substituted with sparkling water or club soda.
