Delicious Easy Zucchini Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (like parsley, dill, or chives)
  • Butter or oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Start by grating your zucchini. After grating, place the zucchini in a clean dish towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is crucial to ensure your pancakes aren’t too watery.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk until well combined. Add the grated zucchini and fresh herbs, stirring until mixed.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps!
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
  8. Serve warm with your choice of toppings and enjoy these delightful zucchini pancakes!

Whether you’re enjoying them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these zucchini pancakes are sure to delight your taste buds. Happy cooking!
