Fried Mushrooms
Absolute perfection! I have never tasted a better Fried Mushroom in my life. My mushrooms were gigantic and I had to cut them into quarters. As much as I hate to fry food, I will fry these again in a heartbeat. When you bite into them, the breading stays attached and the flavor….oh my! If you love mushrooms like I do, you have to try this one!

Ingredients
In a small bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
Pour the water into the flour mixture.
Using a whisk, combine the flour mixture with the water until a
batter is formed and the flour mixture is all mixed in.
In a deep pan add enough oil so it is about 2”-3” deep.
Heat the oil over medium heat until a small drop of batter dropped in it sizzles.
Take a toothpick and insert it into a mushroom.
Completely cover the mushroom with the batter
allowing the excess batter to drip off.
Immediately drop the battered mushroom into the breadcrumbs,
making sure it is completely coated with the crumbs and removing the toothpick.
Carefully drop the breaded mushrooms in a single layer into the oil.
Using a slotted spoon, scoop the mushrooms out of the oil.
Let the excess oil run off and place the mushrooms onto a
plate that is covered with paper towels.
Let them cool for a few minutes then serve.

Oh yes – sounds yummy. I love mushrooms too – we used to pick gigantic ones in late summer from some riverside fields near us in Wiltshire. They were as big as dinner plates! No really we used to call them Horse mushrooms and they grew in fields that were once managed as water meadows and grazed by the large cart mates that used to pull the hay wagons. And once in an adjacent field we had a mushroom ‘whiteout’ – the whole 25 acre field covered in mushrooms. We gathered a few basketfuls making sure we cut them off at the stalk and cooked them every which way you could think of – even making some mushroom relish or ketchup.
I am so jealous! What an amazing experience and I thought my mushrooms we bought were gigantic..haha no comparison! Thank you for sharing that story with me!
I’m sorry that should have read cart mares – the old heavy horses – Shire horses – that were used for ploughing and hauling before tractors.
Lol that’s ok! I really enjoyed your comment!

It goes well together with some dips, for example self-made mayonese (without eggs) with small sliced onions, a bit sugar and together with small diced pickles, a bit lemon in addition.
Thanks for sharing my friend

Here we gather mushrooms from forests and dry and powder them to add to food when needed. I like your idea too we had garlic white bought mushrooms as side dish to roast chicken main course last night. Ill try your way next time sounds really good
Thank you! I don’t powder them but when they are on sale I buy a bunch, slice them and dehydrate the slices. I like to put the dehydrated mushrooms into homemade cream of mushroom soup!
This looks delicious and I really love mushrooms! 🙂
Thank you! Give these a try you will love them!
