"I had to adapt this recipe because I found out I can't have wheat flour any more. These are tasty and delicious. This is my favorite way to eat squash. It's adapted from a recipe I found here on the 'zaar."

Thank you Kwlabear. This recipe is easy to prepare, quick to cook and outstanding in taste. I cannot have wheat anymore either and I am constantly looking for alternatives to eat otherwise I am stuck with steamed veg. The only substitution I made was Rice Dream for the buttermilk. Susan C.
