  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Herbs (e.g., dill, oregano) Fresh or dried.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grating the yellow squash using a box grater or food processor. Transfer to a colander, sprinkle with salt, and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to mix evenly.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the drained squash and herbs. Gently mix this into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of fritter batter into the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve warm with dips or sauces of your choice.
