I guess that's 3 questions!
There is flour in the recipe.

You need extra with the cream of tarter because of all the water......BUT I ALWAYS COOK MY SQUASH BEFORE HAND
And again the yellow squash does just fine in recipe...you don't have to peel it, just take out the seeds
hope that helps???
Sorry, I missed the flour in the recipe, but I still don't understand what the cream of tartar does. You said you need extra with the cream of tarter - extra what? It's not a thickener, so what does it do in this recipe? Thanks.
