These deep-fried mushrooms are a favorite of my youngest son. They're his special treat.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Deep fried mushrooms are a delicious snack when watching football and make a simple party appetizer. One fried, these are crispy outside and tender and juicy inside. We had leftovers that we placed in the fridge. The next day, they were still yummy. Serve with ranch dipping sauce for a nibble your guests will love.

How To Make deep-fried mushrooms

Test Kitchen Tips
For seasoning, we used 2 tsp salt and 1 1/2 tsp pepper. We found buttermilk helped the coating stick to the mushrooms better than regular milk.
  • Eggs and milk in one bowl; flour and seasonings in a second bowl.
    Step 1
    Combine egg and milk in a small mixing bowl. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in another small mixing bowl.
  • Dipping mushrooms in the egg mixture.
    Step 2
    Dip mushrooms into egg/milk mixture.
  • Coating mushrooms in the flour mixture.
    Step 3
    Roll in flour mixture to coat thoroughly.
  • Coating mushrooms in the egg mixture.
    Step 4
    Dip in milk mixture again.
  • Rolling mushrooms in the flour.
    Step 5
    Roll in flour mixture again.
  • Frying the mushrooms.
    Step 6
    Fry in a deep fat fryer at 375 degrees until golden brown.
