Zucchini Patties

 

2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 1/2 cups zucchini, coarsely grated

1/4 cup flour, all-purpose

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper, black

 

1. Heat the butter and oil together in a 12-inch skillet over moderate heat.

Meanwhile, quickly mix the zucchini with the flour, eggs, salt and pepper to

form a batter.

2. Drop tablespoonful of batter into hot butter and oil to form 6 patties 2

to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Flatten each patty slightly with the back of a

spoon. Reserve the remaining batter.

3. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are

golden brown and crusty. Remove them to a platter covered with paper

toweling and set in a keep-warm, 250 degree oven. Use the remaining batter

cook 6 more patties in the same manner, adding 1 more tablespoon of oil to

the skillet, if needed.
