Logan's Roadhouse Fried Mushrooms
Logan's Roadhouse Fried Mushrooms features fresh white button mushrooms with a double-dredge coating in seasoned flour and buttermilk, then deep-fried to a golden, crispy exterior. The method ensures a sturdy, crunchy crust while keeping mushroom centers tender. Proper oil temperature and frying in small batches prevent greasiness and soggy results, making it a classic, textured appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1 pound white button mushroom fresh
- 1 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Pour oil into a large saucepan or deep fryer to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
- Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. If these stems are very large (greater than 3/4 inch), trim off the stem, as they may be woody. If the mushrooms are small, there is no need to trim off the stem.
- Combine the flour with the salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine the flour mixture.
- Combine buttermilk and water in another bowl
- Dredge the mushrooms in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, and then dip them in the buttermilk.
- Dredge them in the flour again. Knock off the excess flour.
- Lower the mushrooms gently into the hot oil, cook them until they are golden brown. It will take about 2 to 3 minutes for the mushrooms to cook. Drain on a wire rack. Serve with your favorite sauce.
Notes
- Bring buttermilk to room temperature before use for better coating adherence.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F using a thermometer to ensure proper frying without greasiness or burning.
- Fry mushrooms in small batches to avoid overcrowding and temperature drop.
- Double-dredging flour-buttermilk-flour creates a thick, crispy crust.
- Drain mushrooms on a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep the coating crisp.
