Notes
Nutritional information is for the ENTIRE recipe inclusive of the whole 2 cups of white rice flour. * When we find an abundance of Morels, we will bread and freeze them to enjoy later in the year. They will keep frozen for roughly 8 months. We allow them to freeze on sheet pans then transfer them to plastic zip top bags for long term freezer storage. Just take the frozen mushrooms out of the bag and fry anytime for a spring treat!
