  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Units
  • 1 Delicata squash, seeds removed, thinly sliced into rings
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp cloves
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 (12oz) bottle of pumpkin beer
  • canola oil, for frying

For the cinnamon-scented powdered sugar:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

For the Greek yogurt dipping sauce:

  • 1 (6 oz) container plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 1½ Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Add the flour, cornstarch, sugar, spices and salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour in the beer and stir until a thick batter forms. It should be a little thicker than pancake batter. You’ll need most of the bottle of beer (with about ½ cup left over).
  2. Heat a few inches of oil in a saucepan to 350°F.
  3. Dip the squash in the beer batter and place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time until golden brown on one side, and then flip over to brown the other side.
  4. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and drain on paper towels.
  5. To make the cinnamon-scented powdered sugar: Place the cinnamon and powdered sugar in a bowl and whisk until the cinnamon is completely incorporated.
  6. To make the Greek yogurt dipping sauce: Add all the ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine.
  7. Dust with cinnamon-scented powdered sugar and serve immediately or remove to a rack, to keep crisp and reserve for later. Serve with Greek yogurt dipping sauce.
