Ingredients
-
5 yellow squash, grated
-
3 tablespoons grated onion
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed
Toppings:
-
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
-
¼ cup chopped onion, or to taste
-
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
Directions
-
Place grated squash in a colander and squeeze out all excess water; you should have about 1 cup grated squash.
-
Transfer squash to a bowl. Add onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt; mix well to make a batter.
-
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.
-
Serve warm topped with Cheddar cheese, onion, and sour cream.
Cook’s Note
Sometimes I add a little onion or shredded cheese into the batter.
