Easy Zucchini Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- Black pepper optional
- Oil for frying
- Sour cream to serve
Instructions
Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchinis. Squeeze out as much water as possible and then add the salt and black pepper.
Make the Batter:
- In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini with the egg and flour. Mix everything to form a batter. It should not be too runny; if there’s too much water, pour it out.
Fry the Fritters:
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Drop a spoonful of zucchini batter onto the pan for each fritter, spreading it carefully to form a small round pancake.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. After flipping, press down gently with a spatula to let out any extra juices, making the fritters crispier.
Serve:
- Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy!
