Ingredients
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 lbs white button mushrooms, stems trimmed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with Old Bay, marjoram, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour buttermilk into a separate bowl.
Clean mushrooms thoroughly. Pat dry using a paper towel.
Place mushrooms in a large resealable bag. Add flour, seal, and shake to coat.
Dip each floured mushroom in buttermilk.
Roll mushrooms in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Heat 1 1/4 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375°F.
Fry a few mushrooms at a time for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Notes
Clean mushrooms with cold water and dry thoroughly for best results. Use one hand for wet and one for dry ingredients to avoid clumpy fingers. This breadcrumb mix also works in an air fryer. If not using a deep fryer, a candy thermometer helps keep oil at 375°F. Always fry in small batches to maintain temperature.
