THE BEST FRIED MUSHROOMS

INGREDIENTS:

10 ounces fresh white mushrooms, wiped clean
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
2 cups breadcrumbs (Panko if you can find them)

DIRECTIONS:

Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Add water to make a batter.
Dip clean mushroom into batter letting excess batter drip off.
I find it easier to stick a toothpick into the mushroom to dip it.
After dipping into batter roll in Panko breadcrumbs to coat.
Deep fry in oil until golden.
We like to serve with cocktail sauce.
