Squash Fritters
These squash fritters are so delicious it's hard to believe they only takes a few minutes to make, and they are so crispy even kids love them. This is a great way to use the abundance of squash at the end of the season.
INGREDIENTS :
- 5 yellow squash, grated
- 3 tablespoons grated onion
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed
- Toppings:
- ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
- ¼ cup chopped onion, or to taste
- ¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
DIRECTION:
- Place grated squash in a colander and squeeze out all excess water; you should have about 1 cup grated squash.
- Transfer squash to a bowl. Add onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt; mix well to make a batter.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter into the hot pan and use the back of a large spoon to flatten fritters to 3 to 4 inches in diameter and to 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Cook until edges are deep brown, about 1 minute. Flip over and cook 30 seconds more. Transfer fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining batter, melting more butter in the pan as needed.
- Serve warm topped with Cheddar cheese, onion, and sour cream.
