Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 quart oil for frying
4 summer squash, cut into chunks
1 medium onion, grated
2 eggs, beaten
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup dry corn muffin mix
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a deep, heavy skillet or deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Place the squash in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and mash.
  • In a bowl, mix 2 cups squash*, onion, and eggs. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, corn muffin mix, baking powder, and salt. Thoroughly blend the squash mixture into the flour mixture.
  • Drop the squash and flour mixture by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil, and fry until evenly brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
