How to Make Simple Zucchini Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, grate the zucchini using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. Add the grated zucchini, flour, egg, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Drop 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when the edges start to look set and the bottom is golden.
  6. Remove pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
