Ingredients:
Mushrooms:

  • 250g button mushrooms (cleaned and dried)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornflour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Ranch Dip:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
    • Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary. Pat them dry to ensure the batter adheres properly.
  2. Make the Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornflour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    • Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.
  3. Coat the Mushrooms:
    • Dip each mushroom into the buttermilk, ensuring it’s fully coated.
    • Toss it in the flour mixture until completely covered. Repeat for all mushrooms. For extra crispiness, double coat them by repeating the process.
  4. Fry the Mushrooms:
    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of batter; it should sizzle and float to the top.
    • Fry the mushrooms in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
    • Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Prepare the Ranch Dip:
    • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth.
    • Stir in dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the crispy fried mushrooms hot with the ranch dip on the side.
