Notes
- Clean the mushrooms well before battering them by wiping them off with a damp paper towel and then patting them dry.
- Don't overcrowd the oil. Putting too many mushrooms in at once will lower the temperature and result in uneven cooking.
- Be careful when working with the hot oil. Gently place battered mushrooms into hot oil using a fork or spoon and avoid splashing which can burn.
- I recommend using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of your oil, because oil that gets too hot can smoke and even catch fire.
