Ingredients

Toppings

  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped onion, or to taste
  • ¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
  • 5 yellow squash, grated
  • 3 tablespoons grated onion
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed

Directions

Step 1
Place grated squash in a colander and squeeze out all excess water; you should have about 1 cup grated squash.

Step 2
Transfer squash to a bowl. Add onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt; mix well to make a batter.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Serve warm topped with Cheddar cheese, onion, and sour cream.

Tips

You can add a little onion or shredded cheese into the batter.
