2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Oil for frying

# Preparation Steps:

Pour oil into a deep pot to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°F (190°C) using a thermometer to monitor temperature.

Coat the trimmed mushrooms evenly in 1/2 cup of the flour; shake off any excess flour.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of flour, beer, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the batter is smooth.

Using tongs, submerge each floured mushroom in the beer batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into the bowl.

Working in batches of 4-5, carefully lower mushrooms into the hot oil and fry for about 7 minutes, or until deeply golden brown. Transfer fried mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
