Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients:

  • 1 Egg

  • 1/2 cup Milk

  • 1/2 cup Grated Onion

  • 1 cup Flour

  • 1 Tablespoon Water

  • 3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

  • 1 medium Zucchini, Grated

Recipe Note: Grate your zucchini the old fashioned way with a box grater. When you use a quicker approach, like a food processor, it will leach out too much liquid. Once grated, salt the zucchini and let sit in a salad spinner to extract even more water. 

Directions: 

  1. Combine the egg, flour, baking powder, milk, water and salt. Beat until smooth.

  2. Add the zucchini, cheese and onion. Mix well. 

  3. Fry in hot oil.
