Wow, these beer-battered fried mushrooms are dangerous. I require some serious restraint around them. And truth be told, restraint isn’t something I’m known for.
The Perfect Crunchy Batter
The beer batter is perfect. Light and crunchy, it’d work on anything from shrimp to green beans to fish fillets. I liked dipping these beer-battered fried mushrooms in a tangy remoulade from Louisiana Fish Fry products. It has a bit of horseradish in it which really complimented the beefiness of the mushrooms. Ranch dressing would work too, but the kick of the horseradish in the remoulade really made this something special.
I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.
Also try my Cajun fried mushrooms.
