Savory and crispy golden zucchini pancakes. Use a little Bisquick (or make your own) to bind the veggies. Top with cheese and sour cream for a savory breakfast or healthy lunch or dinner.
Grate zucchini (with skin on is my preference, it adds a vibrancy and more texture) and squeeze/drain extremely well – the dryer the shredded zucchini, the crispier the finished product.
Heat a skillet to medium-high heat with the oil of your choice. Growing up this was probably canola oil, now it’s avocado oil for me.
In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients well. Using a spoon or scoop (a 1/4 c. measuring cup works well), place batter into your hot skillet and cook until deeply golden brown and crispy on each side. Remove from the skillet, and repeat.
Recipe notes: My family has always served this with a hefty amount of cheese melted on top, and a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
Note 1: If you don't have or want to use Bisquick, you can replace it with flour and baking powder (and a little pinch of salt). A rough formula is 1.5 teaspoon of baking soda for every 1 cup of flour - plus a quarter teaspoon of salt.
