This recipe comes from Apples for Jam. I tried it for the first time last night, and my kids ate squash!!! Happily, willingly! Of course there are pretty good odds of them eating a thing that is fried and rolled in sugar, but this is a grand first, so I am sharing.
Winter Squash Fritters
1 cup cooked, pureed winter squash
1/2 c. flour
1/8 tsp. baking soda2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
pepper
5 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
butter for frying
In a bowl, add the squash, flour, soda, eggs, salt and some pepper. Mix well. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together on a plate. Heat enough butter in a nonstick pan to cover the bottom. When it sizzles, turn the heat to medium and dollop a few large tablespoons of squash mixture, letting them settle into fritters. Don't touch them until they have set and are golden brown, turn with a spatula and cook until golden. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Pat them on both sides in the cinnamon sugar. If the butter looks dark and starts to burn, wipe out the pan with a paper towel and start with fresh butter. Makes about 18 fritters.
Notes: I used oil for the frying. This made up very quickly.
