Crispy Squash Fritters Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 yellow squash, grated
• 3 tablespoons grated onion
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 0.13 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.13 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed
• 0.25 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
• 0.25 cup chopped onion, or to taste
• 0.25 cup sour cream, or to taste

Instructions

1. Place the grated squash in a colander and squeeze out as much excess water as possible, aiming for about 1 cup of grated squash.
2. Transfer the squeezed squash to a mixing bowl. Add the onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to form a well-combined batter.
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot skillet, using the back of a spoon to flatten each fritter to approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter and 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Cook until the edges turn a deep brown color, about 1 minute. Flip each fritter and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
4. Serve the squash fritters warm, topped with your choice of Cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and a dollop of sour cream for the perfect finishing touch.
