Fried Mushrooms

Fried Mushrooms are a delicious appetizer, side, or meal. I love how light, flavorful and crispy they are. They are also pretty easy to make. The mushrooms just melt in your mouth when you bite into them. I like to dip them into ranch dressing or white gravy. Fried mushrooms taste great as a snack or appetizer. So these are prefect for game day, friends over, date night, or family gatherings.

I have only had a few mushrooms left over only once. To re-heat them, I put them in a cold oven and then heat until 300° Fahrenheit. Once the oven is hot, heat for only 5 minutes. So, the reason that you do not pre-heat the oven is because your mushrooms will turn dark brown, and the centers will be cold. By allowing the fried mushrooms to heat up gradually, the fried mushroom is crispy and heated through.

Directions For Fried Mushrooms

Briefly rinse off mushrooms and finish wiping each one off with a paper towel. It is important that you do not soak the mushrooms, or have them too long in water, or the mushrooms will end up soggy. So, just use enough water to clean them.

Then, coat the mushrooms in 1/2 cup of flour and 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch. The amount you need will depend on how many mushrooms you are doing. Start with one-two tablespoons of flour, and add more tablespoons until you cover them all.

Whisk together the rest of the flour, seasonings and then the beer.

Heat 3 inches deep of cooking oil to 375° Fahrenheit.
Then coat the mushrooms in the batter by dipping a few at a time, and then placing them into the hot oil.
