My results with yellow squash are inconsistent, because it's hard to squeeze all the water out. So, for fritters that are just as good and require little or no squeezing, I recommend zucchini. You can dress it up with a chicken broth/milk gravy with shredded chicken.Ex-prosecutorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452419035924029993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953481555640843862.post-87454856639635676272012-08-03T12:59:32.251-05:002012-08-03T12:59:32.251-05:00Wow, Michelle, those look delicious.

My first time, I didn't know this either, and kept adding flour, ending up with flour fritters with bits of summer squash. The outcome becomes predictable, as I found, when the squash are dried first. I squeeze them in paper towels and add some moisture back with buttermilk.Ex-prosecutorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452419035924029993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953481555640843862.post-69534767206137674972012-06-07T15:27:22.371-05:002012-06-07T15:27:22.371-05:00A good way to get a bunch of the moisture out of t...A good way to get a bunch of the moisture out of the squash is to put the grated squash on a sturdy plate, place a matching plate on top, hold upright them over the sink, and squeeze the plates together as hard as you can. I suspect if you salted the grated squash a bit and let it sit for a half an hour before you squeeze it, you could get most of the liquid out. But, as optimista says, even if you don't get most of the moisture out, the result is still eminently edible.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573265852845681401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953481555640843862.post-69807838979868265382012-05-29T20:13:22.585-05:002012-05-29T20:13:22.585-05:00Those look so good-- I can't wait to get squas...Those look so good-- I can't wait to get squash from my dad's garden this summer so I can try them!Tegan | Celebrate Twelve13https://www.blogger.com/profile/16272115671303072850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953481555640843862.post-47623421208278118042012-05-29T19:39:12.234-05:002012-05-29T19:39:12.234-05:00Yes, I agree with Linda!
