Prepare ingredients: 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup water, Portobello mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon garlic pepper salt, breadcrumbs, and vegetable oil.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of flour to create a batter.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic pepper salt and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the batter and mix well.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking powder into the batter and mix until combined.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot until ready for frying.

Cut large Portobello mushrooms into smaller pieces as needed.

Set up a breading station with the mushrooms, batter, and breadcrumbs.

Dip each mushroom piece into the batter, then coat with breadcrumbs, using a spoon if desired to avoid mess.

Place breaded mushrooms on a plate and prepare for frying.

Once the oil is heated, carefully add the breaded mushrooms to the oil.

Set a timer for 1 minute and 30 seconds for frying the mushrooms, ensuring not to exceed 2 minutes to avoid sogginess.

After 1 minute and 30 seconds, remove the mushrooms from the oil and drain on a paper bag or paper towels.
