Yellow Squash Fritters

What a delicious way to use abundant summer squash! Very easy to make, but it makes a really great side dish. I found this in an old Bell Telephone recipe book. My grown daughter always requests this when she visits. I have been making this for many summers. I just guessed at the number of servings. It is more than enough for 4 people.
