Fried Morel Mushrooms
Fresh pick mushrooms that have been cleaned and soaking in salt water.
1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
1 c. yellow corn meal
Canola oil for frying
Put oil in the bottom of your pan. I like to use an iron skillet, but you
can just use your favorite pan. An electric skillet works really well. Set
your electric skillet at 375 for frying. Also a fry daddy works well with
this.
Get your grease good and hot. That is the trick to getting these good and
crispy. Do not over crowd and don’t put in grease that isn’t really hot.
Mix your egg and milk together. Mix well. Mix your flour and cornmeal
together. Then dip one at a time in the egg/milk wash. Then roll well in
the flour mixture coating well. Put in hot grease. I usually salt and
pepper them. Let it brown good, then turn. Let the second side brown well.
Cook to a good golden brown. Then put out on a plate that has a paper
towel on it to help absorb grease.
