As I told Nanook, I have both the countertop convection/toaster oven as
well as the more usual 3 liter sized "air fryer". I use both on a fairly
regular schedule - else they'd be gone to the ReStore because my counter
and storage space is limited.

And, as I also told him - some things just need to be deep fried in
hot oil. Bv)=
5 tb A-P flour
3 c Aunt Jemima's Deluxe easy
- pour pancake batter mix *
1/4 ts Baking soda
3 1/2 c Club soda; room temp **
1 1/2 c Water
1 lb Button mushrooms; halved if
- large
* or Aunt Pajamas copycat mix (separate recipe)
** Beer may be used as well - but the flavour wiil
be changed.
Combine the flour pancake mix and baking soda in a
deep bowl. Stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon
pour in the club soda and water in a slow stream and
continue to stir until the mixture is a smooth thin
cream.
Strain the batter through a fine sieve set over a
clean bowl pressing down hard on any lumps with the
back of a large spoon.
Dip msuhrooms in batter and drop into the deep-fryer
or fondue pot with oil at 350+|F-375+|F/175+|C-190+|C
Cook until batter is a nice golden brown and crispy.
