zucchini fritters

i am preparing zucchini fritters for a luncheon for friends tomorrow.  the recipe i am using is






from simply recipes which i got off the internet:

2 medium zucchini, coarsely grated on box grater
1 t. kosher salt
2 scallions (i used a small amount of finely chopped onion)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
olive oil to fry

after grating the zucchini and lightly salting it, i let it "rest" and then squeezed the liquid out of it.
i then added the onion, pepper, egg.  then i stirred in the flour mixed with the baking powder.

i put the olive oil in the cast iron frying pan and let it get real hot.  using a large spoon, i dropped
the batter into the pan and lightly spread it with the spoon so as to flatten it.  i used a timer and
did about 3 minutes on each side.  then i drained the fritters on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.

i also lightly salted the fritters as they were draining on the towels.

these are so scrumptious!  i think bob and i ate half of the fritters while i was making them!  it's a
good thing i doubled the amount i was making!
