Ingredients
The following ingredients have 5 Servings
- 4 yellow crookneck squash, zucchini or other summer squash
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1-1/2 to 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama) {affil link}, or to taste, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Additional salt for sprinkling, if desired
Instruction
- Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F.
- Cut squash into rounds, strips, chunks, or a combination of those.
- Whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce and place squash into the buttermilk for 30 minutes.
- Mix together the flour, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out squash, allowing excess to drip off.
- Dredge each piece of cut squash into the flour and set aside on a plate.
- Add to fryer {but don't crowd} and cook until golden brown, in batches, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Drain on paper towels, sprinkle straight out of the fryer with a bit more salt if desired, and absolutely serve immediately while they are hot, with Comeback Sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
