Squash Fritters - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 small or medium yellow squash
1/2 small onion
1/2 tsp. salt
black pepper to taste
1/2 c. flour (self-rising) or 1/2 c. all-purpose flour and 1 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
cooking oil

Preparation

Grate squash and onion (I cut up the onion).
Place in mixing bowl.
Add to this the egg, salt, pepper and flour; mix well.
In a thick boiler (I use Club aluminum), put in enough cooking oil to be about 3/4 to 7/8-inch deep.
The oil should get hot.
When it is hot, use small spoon and drop small amounts of the ingredients in.
Usually it takes about 6 or 7 fritters.
When these are brown, turn over to brown the other side.
Take out of oil; place on paper toweling to get rid of excess oil.
Begin the cooking process over until all the mixture is used.
Serve hot.
