NOTES

• So I know that you are supposed to wipe mushrooms with a moist paper towel but I prefer to rinse mine under cold water and dry promptly and thoroughly with a paper towel. I like to get them genuinely clean.
• Pro-tip – avoid the dreaded breading fingers. Use one hand exclusively for the buttermilk and the other hand for the breading mixture.
• If frying in something other than a fryer use a candy thermometer to help maintain a 375 degree frying temperature.
• To help maintain a constant frying temperature work in small batches.
• Mushrooms float when frying so carefully use tongs to turn them.
• Remove the golden fried mushrooms to paper towels to soak up any excess grease.
