Someone just gave us a couple handfuls of morel mushrooms and I'm wondering what to do with them. I was told to saute in butter and flour. I suppose I could use earth balance but does anyone have suggestions for a non-wheat flour that would work well with this? Or any other morel recipes? Thanks! Catherine

I love sauteed mushrooms, but I've never heard of adding flour to them. Sometimes I add a bit of garlic or shallots, but that's it. I'm sure earth balance will be fine.
Btw, what about this recipe http://www.bryannaclarkgrogan.com/page/page/1466680.htm#october20?

Wow! That's luck to have someone gave you Morel! Mushrooms are expensive where I am!

Yes, I'm very lucky indeed. That's why I don't know what to do with them--I think I've had them only once or twice before and can't remember how they were prepared!

Catherine, could you post the recipe? I'm having trouble figuring out what the flour and egg are intended to do.

Here it is, Kourtney! And thanks, Bryanna, for all the links! Catherine
Mix some milk with an egg. Soak the mushrooms in it. Drain off the excess
liquid. Then, sprinkle the mushrooms LIGHTLY with flour, cook (pan-fry or oven-
bake - either one, and enjoy!

It sounds like the eggs are to bind the flour to the mushrooms, but I'm puzzled as to why you'd soak the morels in egg and milk. I've heard of soaking things like onions or strong-tasting meats in milk to make the flavour more mild, but I can't imagine why you'd buy morels only to soak the flavour out.
I'm stumped.
