Squash Fritters

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Deep fried squash fritters with cheese and onions.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium yellow summer squash, 1 pound
  • salted water
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 egg -- beaten
  • oil for deep frying

Preparation:

Remove stem and blossom ends of squash and cut in large chunks. Place in a large pan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat; cook until squash is very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well; mash. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours, or fry right away. To fry, heat oil in the deep fryer to 370°. Drop squash batter by spoonfuls into hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
Serves 8.
