Great puffball recipe!

16 years ago

My sister, brother in law and my daughter were out riding horses and found several giant puffballs today. One was about the size of a soccer ball and really white inside.

I'd never cooked them before, but heck everything's good deep fried! So I took a couple eggs and scrambled them in a bowl with a shot of milk, dipped the puffball pieces in there, and then coated them in a 50/50% mix of seasoned italian bread crumbs and all purpose flour with a dash of salt.

These were just great deep fried! Our favorite shape to cut them into was sticks, they looked like mozzarella sticks. And they were great dipped in spaghetti sauce.

We're trying to freeze some of the breaded sticks for short term storage.

Thought if anyone had found or felt like looking for puffballs, they might like this recipe.

I've never found a giant puffball .... matter of fact haven't even seen one in years. I'm kind of surprised they're out this late.

Yeah,it's late for them here too. But it's been still warm, and we got some rain finally about 2.5 weeks ago. That brought them up. The ones we found are close to the horse trail, Maybe the horses helped fertilize them?
Also, a follow up, so far the ones I put in the freezer are just fine when you take them out still frozen and deep fry them. We had some with summer tonight.
