Ingredients

0.5 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup cornmeal
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
1 cup oil for frying
6 pounds butternut squash - peeled, seeded and sliced

Instructions

Prepare all of your ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and salt.
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350 to 375 degrees F (180 to 190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. Dip each squash slice in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.
Fry the coated squash slices in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet, until they are crisp and golden brown on both sides. Drain on a paper towel and serve right away for the best taste.
