Notes

Serve hot for the best taste. Goes well with dipping sauce like ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup. To store, let cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to regain crispiness. For extra flavor, let the batter sit for a few minutes before dipping the mushrooms.
