25. #### **Preparation of the Morels**
26. 1. **Cleaning**: Rinse the morel mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt and debris. Carefully pat them dry using paper towels.
27. 2. **Trimming**: Trim off the base of each mushroom, ensuring they are clean and ready for cooking.
29. #### **Coating Preparation**
30. 3. **Mixing Flour and Cornstarch Mixture**: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you desire such as paprika or garlic powder.
31. 4. **Dredging the Morels**: Working in small batches to avoid clumping, lightly dredge each mushroom in the seasoned flour mixture until evenly coated.
33. #### **Frying Process**
34. 5. **Heating Oil**: Fill a deep fryer or a large pot with enough vegetable oil to cover the mushrooms. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oil is hot before adding the morels.
35. 6. **Frying**: Carefully place the coated morels into the hot oil using tongs. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn a golden brown and are crispy on the outside.
36. 7. **Draining**: Use a strainer basket to remove the fried morels from the oil, letting excess oil drip back into the pot. Place them on paper towels to drain any remaining oil.
38. #### **Serving**
39. 8. **Presentation**: Serve your deep-fried morel mushrooms immediately while they are still hot and crispy.
40. 9. **Optional Garnish**: Sprinkle with additional paprika or serve with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or melted butter for added flavor.
