Ingredients

Scale

For the Mushrooms:

  • 1 lb button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1⁄4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Ranch Dressing:

  • 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1⁄2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 –2 tablespoons milk (to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Ranch Dressing – In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Coating – In one bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  3. Step 3: Coat the Mushrooms – Dip each mushroom slice into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the coated mushrooms on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to help the coating adhere.
  4. Step 4: Fry the Mushrooms – Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mushrooms in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Step 5: Serve – Arrange the fried mushrooms on a platter and serve with the chilled ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy coating.
