Ingredients
1 pound small button mushrooms, ends trimmed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided use
1 cup beer
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Oil for frying
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to 375°F (190°C).
Coat the mushrooms with 1/2 cup of flour, shaking off any excess.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining cup of flour, beer, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
Dip each mushroom into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
Fry 4-5 mushrooms at a time for about 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat the process with the remaining mushrooms.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
