DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Wash the mushrooms and remove most of the stem.
• Pat mushrooms dry with a paper towel.
• Coat mushrooms with flour, lightly tap to remove excess flour.
• Dip in eggs.
• Coat with bread crumbs.
• Set on a rack for a few minutes, so batter sets/dries.
• Heat the oil in the deep fryer to 375 degrees. Pay close attention to grease while it heats. Cooking with oil at high heat levels can be dangerous!
• Deep fry mushrooms in batches for approximately 3- 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.

AIR FRYER FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Beat eggs in a bowl. Combine flour, all bread crumbs, kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, and seafood seasoning in a separate bowl.
• Dip mushrooms first in eggs, then in seasoned flour. Dip back into the eggs and into the seasoned flour again. Place on a plate.
• Place a batch of mushrooms in the air fryer basket, making sure none are overlapping. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes. Shake basket and spray any chalky spots with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes more. Repeat with remaining mushrooms.

HOOSIER FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• If your mushrooms are wild found - then they should be cleaned and soaked in salt water overnight to make sure there isn't anything else in them. Should you have to buy them from a vendor then just rinse and drain them.
• Mix the seasonings into the flour and set up a suitable work area for frying - mushrooms on one side, flour in the middle and an empty plate to set them on next to the skillet.
• Add vegetable oil to a skillet 1/4 inch deep and turn on medium high to preheat while you flour.
• Hand dip each mushroom half into the flour and set on the empty plate.
• Once they are all floured and the oil is hot, carefully add to the skillet one at a time and fry for 4 or 5 minutes on each side unit golden brown.
• Remove from the skillet and set on a clean plate to drain and cool and enjoy. The only way I know to describe a fresh fried morel is that it tastes like a little bit of heaven.
• If you do go out in the woods to find your morels - make sure you know exactly what you are looking for or consult an expert first.

FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 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.
