Additional Time 5 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

500g fresh button mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Herb Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the batter: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
Coat the mushrooms: Dip each mushroom into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it's well coated.
Fry the mushrooms: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the mushrooms in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Make the herb dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Serve: Arrange the fried mushrooms on a platter with the herb dipping sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter for a spicy kick.
If you prefer, you can bake the mushrooms instead of frying them by placing them on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
