Ingredients
- 3 cups grated zucchini (approximately 15 oz)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- ½ medium onion, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini thoroughly, then grate it into a large bowl. Squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to ensure your pancakes turn out crispy.
