A delicious snack featuring crispy, golden mushrooms coated in a flavorful beer batter. Perfect for game day gatherings or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup (240ml) light beer
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (button or baby bella), cleaned and stems trimmed
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or a soft brush to remove any dirt. Trim the stems slightly if needed.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Crack in the egg and pour in the light beer. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If it’s too thick, add a splash more beer to thin it slightly.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot, about 2 inches deep. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Dip each mushroom into the beer batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let excess batter drip off before placing it in the hot oil.
  6. Carefully add the coated mushrooms to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

[‘Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for consistent frying results.’, ‘Fry mushrooms in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.’, ‘Make sure mushrooms are dry before dipping them into the batter to ensure the batter sticks properly.’, ‘Cold beer helps create a light and airy batter.’, ‘Sprinkle extra salt on the mushrooms right after frying for added flavor.’]
