Beer Batter Fried Mushrooms

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.

Equipment

Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
2 cups beer
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 pounds mushrooms I used a mix of button and baby bellas, dirt brushed off (if you decide to rinse them clean, make sure you dry them thoroughly)
dipping sauce

Instructions

Bring enough oil to cover the mushrooms (about 3") to 375 F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley flakes until a smooth batter forms.
Add in the mushrooms and toss to coat.
Working in batches, deep fry the mushrooms until golden brown.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

Great dipped in Ranch or blue cheese dressing too!
