What can I do with yellow cucumbers?
Ahh, this I have to admit is a “loaded” question, as I have this nice little recipe and was surprised to find that not many in Delaware have ever heard of it.
Must be a “Danville-thing” but then I got it from my Dad, which would make it a “Butler-thing” and he got it from his Mom which would make it a “Fond Du Lac (Wisconsin) thing” … so we’ll just say it’s a family recipe.

What can I do with yellow cucumbers?
Well we all know that as summer wears on those lovely crisp cucumbers begin to get softer and begin to get a bitter taste to them.
This is a really tough recipe, so be sure to read it very carefully. 
- Create an egg bath with one egg and a little milk. Just mix them together in a bowl big enough for the cucumbers to take a relaxing final bath in.
- Place flour in a bowl next to the egg bath.
- Peel and slice the cucumbers into 1/8-inch pieces.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a sauce pan until it is hot.
- Pick-up a sliced cucumber.
- Towel dry it
- Dip it in the egg bath, getting both sides wet.
- Dip into the flour and shake off the excess flour – you are only looking for a thin layer of flour.
- Drop the floured into the oil and allow to pan fry until golden brown and delicious.
Not that hard. Very easy. And best of all down-right tasty.
Trying to be a little more healthy, we’ve eliminated the “egg bath” and it has worked but don’t dry the cucumbers first.
