DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS

DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS


1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 egg
1 cup water
1 lb. button mushrooms, quartered
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed


In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and garlic salt. Mix in egg and water until smooth.

Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if oil is hot by a drop of batter, if it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.

Dip mushrooms onto batter and then place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time so they are not crowded, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Remover from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.


Yield: 8 servings.
