Butter Fried Morel Mushrooms

Morel mushrooms are highly prized for their distintive flavor.

Here is the recipe for butter-fried Morel msuhrooms:

Ingredients:

One half cup flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh picked morels (twenty, more or less)
One stick butter
1 Tablespoon oil

Directions
Cut morels in half.

Wash in salted water to remove any bugs that may be hiding in the creases.

Drain well put flour, salt pepper in bag.

Add morels shake to coat morels.
Heat butter and oil in frypan hot, but try not to burn the butter.

Add morels a few at a time fry until brown, about two or three minutes each side (I like morels fried in butter without oil. And using only salt and pepper on them.)

**Important Note: Be sure you know what morels look like in the woods, before you ever eat any mushroom picked in the
wild.
