These squash fritters are so delicious it’s hard to believe they only takes a few minutes to make, and they are so crispy even kids love them. This is a great way to use the abundance of squash at the end of the season.
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.
