Ingredients

1½ lbs white button mushrooms washed and trimmed
½ cup flour
1 cup buttermilk
1½ cups panko bread crumbs
1½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp marjoram
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Prep the Mushrooms

Gently clean mushrooms and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Season the Coating

In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with marjoram, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Set Up Your Stations

Pour buttermilk into a bowl.
Add flour to a zip-top bag.

Coat the Mushrooms

Add mushrooms to the flour bag and shake until coated.
Dip each flour-coated mushroom into the buttermilk using one hand.
Roll it in the seasoned panko mixture with your other hand (avoids clumpy fingers!).

Fry the Mushrooms

Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully fry mushrooms in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crisp. Avoid overcrowding.

Drain & Serve

Use a slotted spoon to transfer mushrooms to a paper towel or wire rack. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
