Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 2 yellow squash, cut into 1/4 inch rounds
• 2 cups shortening, melted
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Allow squash to rest for 5 minutes after cutting to release its moisture. Stir the flour, sugar, and salt together in a shallow bowl. Dredge the squash slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and set aside until needed.

Step 2

Melt the shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the squash in a single layer in the skillet. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
