Preparation and Cooking
  1. Gently clean mushrooms with a damp cloth. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb moisture.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually pour in sparkling water and whisk until smooth.
  3. Heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Monitor temperature with a thermometer.
  4. Dip mushrooms into the batter, ensuring they're fully coated. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy mushrooms and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  6. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper in a small bowl to make ranch sauce.
  7. Serve the crispy mushrooms warm with ranch sauce on the side for dipping.
