Ingredients

• 16 oz mushrooms
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beer
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

1. 1

   Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Remove the stems if desired, leaving the caps intact.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the beer until well combined.

4. 4

   Pour the beer mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. 5

   In a shallow dish, place the bread crumbs. This will be used for coating the mushrooms.

6. 6

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

7. 7

   Dip each mushroom cap into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the bread crumbs to coat evenly.

8. 8

   Carefully place the coated mushrooms in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

9. 9

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

10. 10

    Serve the crispy fried mushrooms hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
