This fried squash recipe was my grandmother's and it actually won a Blue Ribbon at the Tennessee State Fair! Be sure to use fresh squash, I use butternut but other squash like yellow squash or zucchini would also be good.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 1 large egg , beaten
  • 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups cornmeal
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup oil for frying
  • 6 pounds yellow squash , sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl. Combine flour, cornmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and salt together in a separate bowl.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to 350 to 375 degrees F (180 to 190 degrees C). Dip each squash slice into egg mixture, then dredge in flour mixture to coat.
