For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the batter. Toasting the sesame seeds brings out their nutty aroma and enhances the overall flavor of the dish. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce – a classic aioli, spicy chipotle mayo, or even a simple ranch dressing would be delicious. Don't overcrowd the fryer; frying in batches ensures the mushrooms cook evenly and remain crispy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Frying Station: Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375°F (190°C). Ensure you have enough oil to fully submerge the mushroom pieces. (5 minutes)
02
StepWhisk the Beer Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the bitter ale, flour, toasted sesame seeds, cornstarch, and baking powder until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable, with a few lumps remaining. (3 minutes)
03
StepDust the Mushrooms: Lightly dust the mushroom slices with flour. This helps the batter adhere properly. (2 minutes)
04
StepBatter the Mushrooms: Dip the floured mushroom strips, a few at a time, into the beer batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess batter drip back into the bowl. (5 minutes)
05
StepFry to Golden Perfection: Carefully lower the battered mushrooms into the preheated oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer. Fry for 5 to 6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. (6 minutes per batch)
06
StepDrain and Serve: Remove the fried mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season immediately with a pinch of salt. Serve hot and enjoy! (2 minutes)
