Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 ½ teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1 /2 lbs white button mushrooms stems trimmed
- 1/2 cup flour
- cooking oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, Old Bay seasoning, marjoram, garlic powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk to another small bowl.
- Wash and dry your mushrooms thoroughly. Add the mushrooms to a zipper storage bag. Add the flour and shake to coat. Dip them in the buttermilk and roll them through the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat 1 1/4 inches oil in a Dutch oven, heavy pot or fryer to 375 degrees. Carefully add a few of the breaded mushrooms at a time frying until golden brown; 2-3 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Notes
- So I know that you are supposed to wipe mushrooms with a moist paper towel but I prefer to rinse mine under cold water and dry promptly and thoroughly with a paper towel. I like to get them genuinely clean.
- Pro-tip – avoid the dreaded breading fingers. Use one hand exclusively for the buttermilk and the other hand for the breading mixture.
- If frying in something other than a fryer use a candy thermometer to help maintain a 375 degree frying temperature.
- To help maintain a constant frying temperature work in small batches.
- Mushrooms float when frying so carefully use tongs to turn them.
- Remove the golden fried mushrooms to paper towels to soak up any excess grease.
