Directions: |
Directions:1. Clean the mushrooms gently, cut the larger ones in half. A little bit of stem is ok.
2. Soak the mushrooms overnight in salted water. Usually put a heavy plate on top of them to keep them submerged, and to drown the last few ants.
3. Drain on paper towels.
4.Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 5. Beat eggs and milk in a shallow bowl.
6. Coat the mushrooms in the egg and milk mixture, then toss them in the flour.
7. Carefully place the coated mushrooms in the heated oil. The mushrooms will cook quickly. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, then flip them over.
8. Drain on a paper towel. Salt while hot.
Best eaten at stove. |

Notes: Some people like the breading to be fine cornmeal, or even crushed saltines. Ruth always used flour.
The likelihood of finding wild morels is inversely proportional to the size of the empty container you take to the woods. JW rarely took more than the hat on his head...sometimes a plastic bread wrapper hidden in a hip pocket.
Late April, early May, in moist damp areas. Focus near dead elm wood and stumps. If you see one, you'll likely find more...usually smashed under your foot.
