Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Try gluten-free flour for a different texture.
  • 1 cup Cold Light Beer Swap in sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version.
  • 2 teaspoons Seasoned Salt Regular salt mixed with garlic powder works well if out of seasoned salt.
For Frying
  • 6 cups Canola Oil Preheat to 350°F for best results.
For the Mushrooms
  • 1 pound Button Cremini Mushrooms Feel free to use portobello or shiitake for variety.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Minced Parsley Optional but looks stunning on the final dish.

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottom pot
  • Candy thermometer
  • medium bowl
  • slotted spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large heavy-bottom pot, pour in 6 cups of canola oil and heat it to 350°F over medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of seasoned salt until well combined.
  3. Gradually pour in 1 cup of cold light beer, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Take each cleaned button cremini mushroom and dip it into the prepared batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Once the oil reaches temperature, carefully add the battered mushrooms to the pot in small batches.
  6. Fry for about 3–5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
  8. While still hot, sprinkle with a touch of seasoned salt and garnish with minced parsley.
