Ingredients

  • oil for frying

  • 2 cups bitter ale (such as Goose Island Honkers Ale®)

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup sesame seeds

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 3 large portobello mushroom caps, cut into 1/2-inch slices

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Whisk ale, flour, sesame seeds, cornstarch, and baking powder in a large bowl. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.

  3. Dip 7 to 8 strips of mushroom at a time into the batter, shaking off excess.

  4. Fry mushrooms in batches in the preheated oil until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
