Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup chopped white mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped chanterelle mushrooms
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more for cooking pancakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Wash and pat dry the mushrooms. Saute all mushrooms in 1 teaspoon of oil until cooked, add fresh herbs and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside, when cool add flour, beaten egg, and chopped fresh herbs. Stir to combine well. Add about 3 tablespoons of oil onto the skillet and drop spoonfuls of mushroom batter (about 3 inches) into the oil. Fry, turning once, until both sides are lightly golden. Add more oil, if necessary, to fry the remaining batter. (Please note because different flour absorbs different amounts of liquid you may need to add more flour.)
