Ingredients

oil for frying
2 cups bitter ale (such as Goose Island Honkers Ale®)
1.75 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large portobello mushroom caps, cut into 1/2-inch slices

Instructions

Heat your oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the ale, flour, sesame seeds, cornstarch, and baking powder. The batter should be thick with a slightly lumpy texture.
Dip the mushroom strips into the batter, making sure to coat about 7 to 8 pieces at a time. Shake off any extra batter.
Carefully lower the battered mushroom strips into the hot oil in batches. Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take around 5 to 6 minutes. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Continue this process with the remaining mushroom strips.
