DEEP-FRIED MOREL MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine flour, cracker crumbs, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin in a large resealable plastic bag to make breading mix.
• Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Fry breaded morels in the hot oil, working in batches, until dark brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

PEGGI'S DEEP FRIED MOREL MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. Cut morels in half lengthwise & place in warm salt water to soak. This not only cleans & removes bugs & sand, but reconstitutes any that have dried some.
• 2. Mix all dry ingredients in large ziplock bag. Set aside.
• 3. Mix egg & milk in another bowl.
• 4. Take mushrooms out of water a few at a time & dip in egg mix, then in dry mix.
• 5. Shake off excess & drop in deep fryer that the oil is heated to about 325°- 350° or high heat. Fry on one side until dark, then flip & finish frying the other side.
• 6. Note: If you have a batter pro bowl for breading, that's what I use.
• 7. Drain on paper towel. They should be crisp & stay crisp.
• 8. * I recommend adding a little more cayenne if you like the zip in it. I can't do real hot any more. It's great either way.
