Directions:
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and chop the stems coarsely. Reserve the caps. Place the chopped stems in a saucepan and add the broth. Bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes. Strain the broth and reserve. Slice the mushroom caps. Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the caps. Cook stirring, until lightly browned. Sprinkle with the flour and add salt and pepper.

When I used this recipe, I used half button mushrooms and half crimini. I also added about 1/4 cup finely diced onion and sauteed it in the butter along with the mushrooms. Very good!
