The Secret to Perfect Fried Mushrooms
Most fried mushroom recipes fail for one reason: moisture.
Mushrooms hold water, and if you don’t prep them right, the coating slides off or turns soggy. The trick is a light dredge, a well-seasoned batter, and hot oil—hot enough to crisp instantly without soaking in grease.
Once you get that right, the rest is easy.
