Ingredients:

• 450g (1 lb) fresh white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground black pepper, salt, cornstarch, and baking powder.
   • Gradually whisk in the cold water until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

2. Coat the Mushrooms:

   • Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
   • Dip each mushroom into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
   • Roll the battered mushroom in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

3. Fry the Mushrooms:

   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there's enough oil to fully submerge the mushrooms.
   • Carefully place a few coated mushrooms into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding.
   • Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they achieve a golden-brown color and crispy texture.
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

4. Serve:

   • Enjoy the crispy fried mushrooms immediately, perhaps with a dipping sauce like aioli, ranch, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
