SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH
Rarely can you find patty pan (aka scalloped) squash in the grocery store. However, many farmers markets have them. In Texas, it seems that every farmers market is overflowing with squash come June. However, if you can't find them, any summer squash will do. I also have made this recipe using yellow squash and zucchini and it was quite delicious. The freshness of the ingredients scream "summer".

Steps:
- Before shredding, cut out the stem of the squash, but there's no need to peel it. Remove any large seeds, especially if using a large squash.
- Preheat about 1/2 inch oil (I prefer olive oil) over medium-high heat in a deep skillet.
- Place the squash and onions into a large bowl.
- Beat the eggs, milk and oil into the squash/onion mixture. Then add the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and mix all until combined.
- Scoop batter using a 1/4 cup measure and drop batter into hot oil. Do not crowd.
- Cook until brown, turn with a spatula and cook the other side until brown.
- Drain on paper toweling.
- Add oil to pan when necessary.
- Keep warm until served.
- Serve with horseradish sauce, ketchup or whatever you like. They are great as is!

Tips:
- Grate the pattypan squash instead of dicing it. This will help it cook more evenly and quickly.
- Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal in the batter. This will give the fritters a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Cook the fritters in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, ketchup, and honey mustard.
