Squash Hush Puppies

2 Cups Squash/zucchini grated and well drained

   (* I drain my grated squash overnight in a strainer)
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Corn Meal

2 Cups Buttermilk 
1 Cup Cheese grated, of your choice (I use pepper jack)
1/2 Onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
Dash Cayenne Pepper
Oil for deep frying



Directions:
1.Place all the ingredients in a large bowl mix till combined.

2.Drop teaspoons full of the mixture in the hot oil. 

   The will sink to the bottom, but will float as they start to cook. 

3.You want to turn them, so they get browned and cook on both sides. 

4.Cook about 1-2 minutes, you should achieve a dark golden brown color. 

*If you are not so sure if they are cooked open one up. 

*Depending on the size of your pot, you don't want to over crowd them. About 6 at a time. 

*Feel free to half this recipe. It will make anywhere from 24-36 puppies depending on the size of your scoop.
