Zucchini Griddle Cakes (from Plant a Row for the Hungary Recipes by 
Doreen Howard & Jacqueline Hériteau)
Serves 6

Serve in place of potatoes or rice. Ladle creamed
corn or spinach over them for a hearty side dish.
Excellent with grilled fish, chicken or meat.

Ingredients

2 cups unpeeled shredded zucchini (4 small or 2 large)
1/2 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
salad oil

Directions

Combine the shredded squash, the onion, and the salt
and pepper, and let rest 15 minutes. Mix with the
beaten egg, the milk and the flour until the
consistency of pancake batter. Add a little more
milk or flour if the batter seems too runny or too
stiff. Pour 1/4 inch of salad oil in the bottom of
a heavy skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Drop
batter by the tablespoon into hot oil and fry until
cakes are golden on each side. Drain on paper towels
and serve.
