Several people have emailed me about this recipe, so I thought it would be easiest to just post it. I typically make huge batches of this in the summer and freeze to cook throughout the year. It multiplies beautifully and doesn't have to be particularly exact. We're not big onion fans, so I usually skip the onions & double up on the green peppers. Enjoy!

Summer Squash Fried Patty Recipe:
- 2 cup summer
squash (cooked and mashed or blended until fairly smooth)
- 2 eggs (beat
well)
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 TBSP
sugar
- 2 TBSP
milk
- ¼ cup onion
(chopped fine)
- ¼ cup green
pepper (chopped)
- 1 cup
self-rising flour
1. Cook and mash squash
or thaw and drain pre-prepared squash.
2. Beat the egg and add
salt, pepper, sugar, and milk.
3. Stir in onions and
green pepper.
4. Sir in self
rising-flour until smooth.
5. Cover bottom of a
skillet about 1/8 inch with vegetable oil or a combination of oil and butter and
heat to medium.
6. Use a small measuring
cup or large spoon to drop batter into hot oil where it will cook similar to
pancakes or potato pancakes. Tap lightly on top and around edges immediately
after dropping the batter if it does not spread neatly.
7. Fry until brown on
bottom (edges will start to look firm and set) and then flip and brown the other
side.
8. Place fried patties
(makes around 6) on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb any excess
oil.
To freeze: Scoop batter onto cookie sheets, flash freeze patties until hard frozen, then
transfer to freezer bags and freeze.
