Fried Yellow Squash

I have a wonderful recipe for frying yellow squash - as follows

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 1 batch

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

Directions

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