Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 pound fresh white button mushrooms
  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup water

Instruction

  • Pour oil into a large saucepan or deep fryer to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
  • Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. If these stems are very large (greater than 3/4 inch), trim off the stem, as they may be woody. If the mushrooms are small, there is no need to trim off the stem. 
  • Combine the flour with the salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine the flour mixture.
  • Combine buttermilk and water in another bowl
  • Dredge the mushrooms in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, and then dip them in the buttermilk.
  • Dredge them in the flour again. Knock off the excess flour.
  • Lower the mushrooms gently into the hot oil, cook them until they are golden brown. It will take about 2 to 3 minutes for the mushrooms to cook. Drain on a wire rack. Serve with your favorite sauce.
