Zucchini Pancakes



You've made your Turkey Cupcakes, but you have all these leftover zucchinis. What to do? The internet (and Ina Garten) gave us a great option: zucchini pancakes. These are crazy easy and make you feel great for smartly using your produce. 

The original recipe can be found on FoodNetwork.com. We rewrote the steps and ingredients to make it a bit easier to follow. 

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 5 minutes a pancake
Makes about 6 large pancake

Ingredients:
  • 2 medium sized zucchinis, shredded (about 2.5-3 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon grated red onion
  • 6-8 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • pinch of salt
  • dash of pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons of butter
Steps:
  1. Using the larger grate on a box grater , grate the zucchini and red onion into a large bowl. 
  2. Mix in the salt, pepper, two eggs and 6 tablespoons of the flour. As the original recipe suggests, if it looks a bit too liquidy, add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.
  3. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter on a flat griddle. When the butter is melted, spoon a dollop of the mixture on the pan, making sure to spread the mixture thinly.
  4. Flip the pancake in about 2 minutes, or when it begins to solidify and brown
  5. Try to wipe the pan between pancake batches
  6. You can eat it plain, or serve with your favorite topping, like apple sauce or sour cream
