Beer-battered Mushrooms
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- cooking oil, for deep frying
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beer
- 1 egg, separated
- 500 grams fresh small button mushrooms, brushed clean, stems trimmed, (1 lb)
Instructions
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in large pan to 180 C (365 F).
- While the oil is heating, add the flour, baking powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl and mix to blend.
- In a small bowl, whisk the beer and egg yolk.
- In a medium bowl, add the egg white and beat with an electric mixer until soft peeks form.
- Stir the beer mixture into the flour mixture until just blended, fold in the egg whites.
- Dip mushrooms into the batter in batches and carefully place in the hot oil. Fry mushrooms turning occasionally, until golden brown, remove to paper towels to drain. Stir the batter between batches, and return the oil to 180 C (365 F) before each batch.
- Serve as a side dish with any meal. Enjoy.
