Mushrooms

We've all been there. Standing in front of the spices in the grocery store.

Why is there no dried mushroom spice/flavor? I mean they can come up with a ton of different stuff, most of which most of us have never heard of. But mushrooms are delicious in everything from spaghetti, pizza, most other pastas, and a ton of other stuff, but we always have to buy mushrooms (which go bad quickly) for this addition. McDonalds even puts freeze-dried onions on some of their "fresh" burgers. Yeah.

Fried Mushrooms

This makes some excellent fried mushrooms! I've actually never tried it at home before, but I was definitely impressed with my first attempt. Heat up a packet of instant cream gravy to go along with it.

Hint: Instead of 1/2 cup of mix & 1/3 cup water for the batter, use all the rest of the mix that's left after dusting the 'shrooms, in the correct proportion of course.. You'll need it all. Then you can drip batter into the deep fryer for crunchies!

I also added a pinch of salt, and a shake or two of both cayenne pepper & black pepper to the mix.
