Ingredients

2 cups Shredded Zucchini

1/2 cup Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 Eggs, beaten with a fork

1 Serrano Pepper, minced

1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil

1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter

Preparation

Place shredded zucchini in a medium bowl and cover with paper towels.

Press down to absorb some of the moisture. In another medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add eggs, serrano pepper, and shredded zucchini to flour and mix well.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat.

For each pancake, spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons zucchini batter into pan and spread to about 3 inches in diameter. Cook in batches 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Serve hot.
