Steps:
- 1. Choose young paler yellow squash that has dropped the bloom. Older, darker yellow squash will be tougher & more seedier.
- 2. Slice yellow squash, with skin on, about 3/16" thick.
- 3. Mix the egg & milk & then drop in the sliced squash.
- 4. With flour in another bowl or using your batter pro, dredge in flour, making sure you pat it on to make it adhere to squash good.If using batter pro, no need to pat it on.
- 5. Squash is now ready to fry.
- 6. Heat about 2" canola oil in cast iron skillet or dutch oven.
- 7. Drop squash, one at a time into hot oil, turning only once when the first side is browned.
- 8. Let the second half brown & get crispy.
- 9. Remove from skillet & place on paper towels to drain. As soon as you take it out, while still hot, salt & pepper it. Cover with another paper towel while you finish the rest of it.
- 10. Goes good with anything.
