Zucchini Fritters

When you are growing zucchini you need to find different ways to use them in the kitchen. This recipe is based on the Edmonds Vegetable Fritter.

Note: A zucchini is the same as a courgette.

Ingredients

• ½ cup Flour
• ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Salt
• ½ cup Milk
• ¼ cup diced Onion
• 1 cup grated Zucchini (about 2)
• 1 egg, separated
• 2 Tablespoons Oil (for frying)

Tip: I dice and freeze excess onion from recipes, making it easy to get the right amount for recipes like this.

Method

1. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
2. Gradually add milk, mixing until smooth.
3. Mix in egg yolks.
4. Stir in zucchini and onion.
5. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and not dry.
6. Carefully fold the egg white into the vegetable mixture.
7. Heat oil in a moderately-hot pan.
8. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture into pan and cook until golden brown, turning once.
9. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.

I like to serve vegetable fritters with Tomato Relish.
