ZUCCHINI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
• Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

• Wash and shred zucchini on a fine shredder (DO NOT PEEL).
• In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs; add shredded zucchini and mix well using a fork.
• Add flour, sugar, salt and olive oil and stir well to blend.
• Finally, add baking powder and mix using a spoon (Batter consistency should be like heavy whipping cream).
• Preheat griddle to 425- 450°F.
• If using a heavy duty frying pan, heat to medium-high heat; adjust heat if necessary.
• Rub grill or frying pan with oil before cooking each batch of pancakes.
• Spoon batter onto hot griddle (about 2 tablespoons for each pancake).
• Cook until bubbles on the top of the pancake almost stop, about 1 1/2 minutes; turn pancake over and continue to cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until pancakes are done.
• When done, rub pancakes with melted butter and place in a preheated 250 F oven to keep warm until the remainder are cooked, or serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI BREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• Spread the walnuts in a single layer on another rimmed baking sheet. Bake, shaking halfway through, until toasted and fragrant, about 35 minutes. Let cool, then chop. Do not turn off the oven.
• Meanwhile, line a medium bowl with a kitchen towel. Grate the zucchini in a food processor using the grater attachment to yield 2 cups (see Cook's Note). Transfer the grated zucchini to the towel-lined bowl and gather the sides to make a bundle. Squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible. Discard the liquid and set the zucchini aside.
• Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and kosher salt in another medium bowl.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. Stir in the grated zucchini. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake (the batter is fairly thick, so you may need to spread it a bit). Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to space them apart evenly. Cook until the edges begin to brown and bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to prepared rack and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
• Serve the pancakes warm with salted butter, the toasted chopped walnuts and maple syrup.

ZUCCHINI PANCAKES WITH A DIFFERENCE

Steps:

• I peel the zucchini if I buy it, not if it's straight from the garden. Removed seeds and veins from jalapeno. Grate both; I usually use a food processor of Salad Shooter. Put in a mixing bowl with the corn. Add egg(s) and mix well. (Enough egg so all vegetables are moist.) Stir in enough Bisquick so that the vegetables hold together. Add milk a bit at a time until pancake batter consistency. Heat butter or oil or a combination in a frying pan or griddlle. Drop batter in pan by tablespoonfuls and cook until lightly browned, turning once.
• To make fritters, just omit the milk and deep fry.
• Note: Sometimes I add shredded cheese to the vegetable mixture.
• Yield/number of servings depends on size of zucchini and appetites.
