FOR THE BEER BATTER

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

    • 1 cup beer (lager or ale)

FOR THE FRIED MUSHROOMS:

    • 1-pound fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)

    • Vegetable oil, for frying

    • Salt, for seasoning

EQUIPMENT: KALORIK® 3.2 QUART DEEP FRYER WITH OIL FILTRATION

FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


    Directions

    1. Preheat the Kalorik® 3.2 Quart Deep Fryer with Oil Filtration to 375°F (190°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

    3. Slowly pour the beer into the flour mixture while whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. Set the batter aside for 10 minutes to rest.

    4. While the batter rests, prepare the mushrooms. Clean the mushrooms and trim any tough stems. If the mushrooms are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces.

    5. Dip the mushrooms into the beer batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

    6. Carefully place the battered mushrooms into the preheated deep fryer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. Fry in batches if necessary.

    7. Fry the mushrooms for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove them from the fryer, allowing any excess oil to drain.

    8. Transfer the fried mushrooms to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

    9. For the dipping sauce, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.

    10. Serve the Ultimate Beer-Battered Fried Mushrooms immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.


      Recipe Notes

      Chef Tips: For a flavor twist, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper to the beer batter. You can also experiment with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, spicy ketchup, or sriracha mayo to elevate the flavor profile.
