- To cook the mushrooms, place the oil in a large heavy based pot and heat to a medium high temperature, or 180-190º Celsius – readiness can be checked by putting a wooden chopstick or spoon into the oil, if bubbles quickly surround the wood, you’re ready to cook.
- While oil is heating, combine the flour and seasoning in a large bowl. Let excess buttermilk drip off before tossing the mushrooms into the flour mixture to coat. Shake off any excess flour before gentle placing into the oil and fry until golden, stir and gently flip if needed, drain well on kitchen paper or a cooling rack until serving.
- Fry your mushrooms in batches of roughly a single layer to maintain oil temperature and even cooking.
- Place in a bowl to serve.
