Provided by á-41662

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 medium patty pan squash, peeled and rinsed
2 cups butter milk corn meal ( I always use more than needed to keep from re adding.)
1 cup of crushed bread crumbs, Italian style. ( I use the can)
2 cups of flour
2 cups milk
2 tbs Mrs Dash table blend
2 cups corn oil ( 1 cup per pan)
DO NOT CROWD PAN! PLACE NO MORE THAN 4-5 SLICES IN A PAN.

Steps:

Mix corn meal and crumbs together on a plate, put flour onto a plate, milk in a bowl. Slice squash 1/2 to 1 inch, depending on the thickness you want Mix each slice in flour, dip into the milk, dredge through cornmeal/flour mix, place on paper towel laden plate. If placing in fridge, remove after 20 minutes. Place 1 cup of oil in large pan, heated well on medium ( about 2-3 minutes) Place squash in pan, reduce flame, shake 1 tbs of mrs dash over squash. let cook no more than 5 minutes on each side, depending on the softness and your taste. Drain on paper towel.

Tips:

Choose small patty pan squash. Smaller squash will cook more evenly and have a more tender texture.
Slice the squash thinly. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
Season the squash well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the squash get a nice, crispy crust.
Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the squash will steam instead of fry.
Cook the squash over medium-high heat. This will help them brown quickly and evenly.
Flip the squash halfway through cooking. This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
Serve the squash hot. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.
