Squash Fritters

This is my granny's recipe.  I've had to make only one substitution to low-carb it.  The original recipe called for Pioneer Baking Mix; I used almond flour instead.

Mix the following ingredients:
1/3 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups grated yellow squash
 




Heat 2 to 4 TBS of butter (or coconut oil) in a heavy skillet.  Using a large serving spoon, dip the squash mix into small mounds and spread out a little.

Saute on each side for about 3 minutes--until cooked through, but not too dark.

Remove cooked fritters from skillet and drain on a paper towel.

Divide into 4 servings and serve with a few drops of sugar-free ketchup on each patty.  Don't use too much...it will mask the delicious taste of the fritters.

 

Four servings with 2.2 nC each.
