Native American Fried Squash Bread image

I never made this recipe, my grandmother use to make it. She made them kind of like a biscuit one time and kind of like a pancake another time... She told me that this was an old recipe that her parents learned from Native Americans.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 c corn meal
3 summer squash (diced)
2 large eggs
water
1/3 c buttermilk
OIL FOR FRYING

Steps:

  • 1. Put diced squash in a large pot. Boil until cooked tender. Drain (saving 11/4 cups of water from the pot). Put squash and water into pot.
  • 2. Put remaining ingredients into the pot and mix together.
  • 3. Put oil in a skillet and when hot, put batter into skillet and fry until golden brown.
  • 4. This recipe comes out two ways (unless you make adjustments) 1. Depending on the moisture of the squash, it comes out like a dough that can be formed into patties. 2 Depending on the moisture of the squash, it comes out like more of a batter like making pancakes... Try it both ways, and adjust the recipe to your liking.
