Instructions
Batter
- In a bowl, add 80 grams plain flour, 40 grams cornflour, pinch bicarbonate of soda and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Mix briefly. Slowly add 150 millilitres cold lager or beer, whisking thoroughly. Add more beer or lager and continue stirring until the batter is smooth with a slightly thick consistency, something like double cream.
- Heat oil for deep frying to 180C. Arrange the mushrooms on a plate and dust with plain flour, mixing gently to coat. Working in batches, drop a few mushrooms at a time into the batter, mix gently and drop carefully into hot oil. (You can use a wooden skewer to do this). Fry battered mushrooms for about 3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Drain any excess oil and arrange the battered mushrooms in a serving tray. Season generously with salt, vinegar or brown sauce and serve.
