1 pound (450g) of squash, cooked and peeled, will give you the amount of mashed squash you need for this recipe.

Use whatever flavour / kind of winter squash you prefer.

This recipe is adopted from "Good Things To Eat" by Rufus Estes, 1911.

2 cups Squash (cooked, mashed)

1 cup Milk

2 Eggs

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1 teaspoon Salt

Ground Pepper

Cook the squash, peel, mash it (add no butter or milk, just plain.) Measure out the two cups / 500 ml into a medium sized bowl.

Start heating some oil in a frying pan.

To the squash, add the milk, the egg (beaten), the salt, pepper to taste and the baking powder. Mix well.

Drop by spoonfuls into the heated oil, fry until set, warmed through and golden brown on both sides.
