Fried squash is simple comfort food. This recipe dips fresh yellow squash slices in batter, then they're fried until golden, crispy, and delicious!

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
1 cup oil for frying
6 pounds butternut squash - peeled, seeded and sliced

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl. Combine flour, cornmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and salt together in a separate bowl.
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.
4 Fry coated squash slices in hot oil, a few at a time, until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel and serve immediately.
