SQUASH CROQUETTES
2 Cups of yellow squash finely chopped. Emphasis on finely.
1 Cup of onion finely diced. Vidalia onion would work nicely.
1 Egg beaten.
1 teaspoon Salt.
1 teaspoon pepper.
1/2 Cup SR Cornmeal
1/4 Cup AP flour.
Combine the squash, onions, egg, salt & pepper in a big bowl. Add in the meal, then the flour stirring just enough to mix well. Using a cast iron skillet, add about 1/2 inch oil heated to medium high. Drop by tablespoonful and cook to brown side one really nice. Flip and brown side two. Drain on paper towels. Best when eaten hot!

The batter will seem a little thin, but not to worry. They set up nicely and 'rise' due to the SR cornmeal. This recipe is to me in that I've never made squash patties with raw squash and onions. The Cornmeal/flour ratio is mine. Originally it was all flour, but you know us Southern, Country folks gotta have our corn meal.
Enjoy!!
