How Do I Deep-fry Mushrooms?

To deep-fry mushrooms, you need a pound (or about 454 grams) of fresh mushrooms, half-a-cup (or 70 grams) of all-purpose flour, one-fourth of a teaspoon (or one millilitre) each of baking powder and salt, one egg (beaten), milk and vegetable cooking oil.

The mushrooms should be cleaned thoroughly and the ends of the stems of the mushrooms should be removed and kept aside as a reserve. In a large bowl, the all-purpose flour, the baking powder, the salt, the beaten egg and the milk (just enough milk) should be mixed in order to get a dough which has a thick consistency.

The vegetable cooking oil should be preheated into the deep-fryer until it becomes really hot. Each of the mushrooms should then been dipped into the thick dough (which was made by mixing the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the egg and the milk) until they are all completely coated in the dough. Each of these coated mushrooms must be deep-fried by immersing them into the really hot oil for a duration of about three to four minutes. They must be drained on paper towels and served.
