Crispy Yellow Squash Fritters

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Yellow Squash Fritters.

1. Step 1

   Start by placing the grated yellow squash in a colander and squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can until you have about one cup of drained squash.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, blend the drained squash with grated onion, all-purpose flour, a beaten egg, baking powder, and salt, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.

3. Step 3

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt two tablespoons of butter until it bubbles invitingly.

4. Step 4

   Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, using the back of a large spoon to gently flatten each fritter to a diameter of about three to four inches and a thickness of one-quarter to one-eighth inch.

5. Step 5

   Cook until the edges turn a deep brown, which should take around one minute.

6. Step 6

   Carefully flip the fritters and let them cook for an additional thirty seconds until they are golden brown on the other side.

7. Step 7

   Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, and sprinkle them lightly with salt.

8. Step 8

   Continue this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

9. Step 9

   Serve these delightful fritters warm, garnished with shredded Cheddar cheese, extra onion, and a generous dollop of sour cream for a delicious finish.
