Directions

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and garlic salt. Mix in egg and water until smooth.
Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if oil is hot by frying a drop of batter. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.
Dip mushrooms into the batter and then place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time so they are not crowded, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

"First time I made these we didn't like the batter- too mushy. So the next time we dipped the mushrooms in beat egg and the rolled them in italian breadcrumbs (already has garlic and spices added in)...." See more They turned out wonderful- crunchy and tasty. Dipped in Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing."

"Followed directions as written. Flavor was good but the batter never got crispy. It was more like a pancake-wrapped mushroom. I like a crunchy outer. I also missed the beer flavor so next time I'll..." See more look for a beer batter for my shrooms. Dh liked them as well but wished they were more crunchy."
