How to Make Zucchini Pancakes (Step-by-Step)
Making these delicious zucchini pancakes is easier than you think. Here's how to make them at home step by step:
Start by rinsing two large zucchinis. Grate them using a box grater, then transfer the grated zucchini into a strainer to drain the excess juice.
Discard the juice if you have no other use for it and transfer the drained grated zucchini back into the bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, i.e. egg, flour, salt, and black pepper.
Using a hand mixer, mix everything together until well combined.
Heat a skillet to medium-low temperature. Place a heaping tablespoon of zucchini pancake mix in four separate circles and sauté them for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown in color.
Note: The mix is not like a regular pancake mix and will not sponge up like you may be used to, which is fine. So, for peace of mind, I prefer sautéing these pancakes for a slightly longer period of time at a lower temperature to ensure they cook thoroughly. Then adjust the heat as desired.
They taste the best hot-warm, so I recommend serving them up immediately after removing them from the skillet.
Your delicious Zucchini Pancakes are ready to be served!
