I made these in 1970 for my mother, she used to eat squash balls at Morrson's Cafe in Terrill,Texas and had told me a number of times how much she would love to have them again. So I tried many times before I got it right, and so glad I did, because I lost my mother to cancer in 1979. I think of her every time I make these.

How To Make squash balls

Step 1

In medium bowl mix 4 cups bread crumbs and next 7 ingredients. Let set about 5 min. To let your squash weep that is your moisture

Step 2

Make into balls ( about the size of golf balls )
Step 3

Roll balls in the extra 2 cups bread crumbs
Step 4

You need enough oil for balls float. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
Step 5

Do not crowd balls, I do 4 or 5 at a time for 4 to 4 1/2 min.
Step 6

Do not mix the ingredients ahead of time because your squash will weep an your mix will be to wet.
