Cornstarch is essential for crispiness.

Cut mushrooms in half or quarters, depending on preference.

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic pepper, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Stir the dry ingredients together, then add 1/2 cup water and mix to form a batter.

Heat the deep fryer with oil until hot.

Coat each mushroom half in the batter, then roll in Italian bread crumbs until fully coated.

Place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd.

Set a timer for 2 minutes to fry the mushrooms, monitoring closely to avoid overcooking.

After 2 minutes, remove the mushrooms from the oil and place them on a drip tray to drain excess oil.

Check for crunchiness and ensure the inside is not mushy before serving.
