Superior Fried Mushrooms: The Lord of the Rings Online

Ingredients:

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 16-ounces whole white button mushrooms
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 1 cup milk

Method:

1.  In a medium-sized saucepan, fill with enough oil to cover mushrooms and heat over medium-high until oil reaches 350F. Lower heat to medium.
2. In a large, gallon-size Ziploc bag, combine dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and allspice. Shake well to combine. Pour milk into a deep bowl.
3. Working in batches, add 5-6 mushrooms to dry ingredients, seal the bag, and shake well. Transfer flour-covered mushrooms to milk, dredge to  cover mushrooms fully and return them to the Ziploc bag. Shake again to cover mushrooms fully.
4. When oil is ready, fry mushrooms 5-6 at a time, turning every so often to make sure they are fully cooked all the way through. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer cooked mushrooms to a paper towel-lined plate and cool before serving.
6. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (anything creamy goes especially well with this dish).
