Fried Yellow Squash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
salt
vegetable oil, to a 1-inch depth heated until just before smoking
1 yellow squash, cut in 1/8 \" - 1/4-inch slices

Preparation

Soak squash in buttermilk to cover, at least 5 minutes.
Mix dry ingredients together.
Dredge marinated squash in cornmeal mixture (I use a Ziploc baggie & shake until covered).
Fry in vegetable oil until golden, turn and fry until lightly golden on other side.
Salt lightly, remove from oil, & drain on paper towels.
This is delicious - also works for fried green tomatoes (cut green tomatoes at least 1/4\" slices).
If you like fried okra - batter should be 1 cup milk + 1 egg.
Dredge in same mixture as above & salt as you do for squash & drain on paper towels.
