Yaya’s Tips for Success

• Grate the squash finely and squeeze out excess moisture to avoid soggy fritters.
• Use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini for added color and flavor.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook in batches for even browning.
• Serve them immediately for the crispiest texture.

Yaya’s Customization Ideas

• Add a sprinkle of parmesan or cheddar cheese to the batter for extra savory flavor.
• Mix in herbs like fresh dill, parsley, or chives to brighten up the taste.
• For a spicy kick, toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
• Make them gluten-free by substituting regular flour with almond or rice flour.
