Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Mixing bowls
  • Slotted spoon
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

For the Coating

  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Provides a light, crunchy texture.
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning Adds a zesty, coastal flavor.
  • 1 tsp Marjoram Introduces a warm, slightly sweet note.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Enhances umami flavor profile.
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt Essential for balancing flavors.
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper Adds subtle heat and depth.

For the Mushrooms

  • 1 cup Buttermilk Helps the coating adhere.
  • 8 oz White Button Mushrooms Main ingredient providing delicate flavor.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Helps buttermilk and panko adhere.

For Frying

  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil (e.g., Canola, Peanut) Used for frying.

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, Old Bay seasoning, marjoram, garlic powder, and kosher salt. In a separate bowl, pour in the buttermilk for dipping the mushrooms later.
  • Gently wash and dry your white button mushrooms. Place them in a storage bag with all-purpose flour. Shake the bag to ensure each mushroom is evenly coated.
  • Dip each flour-coated mushroom into the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Roll them in the seasoned panko mixture until fully coated.
  • In a Dutch oven, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 1 1/4 inches. Heat the oil until it reaches 375°F.
  • Carefully add the breaded mushrooms in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Arrange your crispy fried mushrooms on a platter with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with ranch dressing or spicy mayo for an added flavor boost. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
