Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
• 1 pound button mushrooms, quartered

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and garlic salt. Mix in egg and water until smooth.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if oil is hot by frying a drop of batter. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.

Step 3

Dip mushrooms into the batter and then place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time so they are not crowded, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
