26 Reviews of Yellow Squash Puffs

From: Lee Calhoun

On Jun 2, 2002

everyone will love these as an alternative to the someimes dry hush-puppies. If you'd like to have a little more zing to your squash puffs - substitute fish fry instead of the cornmeal...this gives it a little more seasoning with some spice to it.

    Thanks for posting this very yummy recipe. I added 2 teaspoons of sugar because I like sweet cornbread and I grated a clove of garlic to even out the onion...It was just great! Thanks again!

    I would probably call these fritters more than puffs, but they were delicious no matter what you call them! I loved them on their own, but I also tried this mixture as a batter for deep-fried zucchini and it is great for that, too. The main key there is not to put too much batter on the zucchini because the corn flavor can kind of overpower the zucchini.

    yummy! A good way to hide veggies from kids since they look and taste like hushpuppies! We loved them

    Looking for ways to use up all my summer squash, i tried these..oh my, sooo good !!!i couldnt stop eating them. I served them with a curry dipping sauce. They would make fantastic appetizers with a little green salad. I will be making these all summer long. thanks for a great recipe.

    These were very good as the recipe stands. We made two batches. In the second batch we cut the cornmeal with breadcrumbs which lightened it up some and added southwestern ingredients like finely chopped jalapeno and green onion, garlic powder, cayene pepper, paprika and cumin. We just put enough dough for one or two in separate bowl and everyone added what they thought would be good. We also had various dipping sauces available. The southwestern flavors dipped in ranch won the day. Thanks riffraff for a good recipe using up some of the garden squash as well as a couple of hours entertainment for the family.

    My 6 year old loved them. I made a few changes because I didn't have cornmeal in the house. I used whole wheat bread crumbs and for the onion I used 2 Tablespoons of parmasan cheese. Thanks for a great kid friendly recipe.
