Ingredients
Scale
- Button or cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup (50g) panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice larger mushrooms in half for even cooking.
- In one bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- Pour panko breadcrumbs into a third bowl and optionally add a pinch of salt and paprika.
- Dredge each mushroom in the flour mixture, shake off excess, dip into the egg mixture, and roll in panko breadcrumbs to coat completely.
- Heat oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the coated mushrooms in small batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer fried mushrooms to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Ensure mushrooms are dry before coating to prevent soggy breading. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature. Double-coat for extra crunch.
