These were supposed to be more like hush puppies, but I didn't feel like busting out the deep fryer. So, I just dropped them in hot oil in a skillet and now they are more like zucchini pancakes. They were really good, but made way too many for our little family. I decided to put them in the freezer to see if we could eat them later. Of course, fried foods are always better freshly fried but they still tasted good after being reheated in the microwave.
Zucchini Fritters
Vegetable oil
1/2 c. milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 c. all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 (1 oz.) pkg. of ranch-style dip mix
2 c. shredded zucchini
Fill a deep-fat fryer or skillet with oil to a 2-inch depth. Heat to 375. Meanwhile, combine milk and egg in a mixing bowl. Stir together dry ingredients and add to egg mixture; blend well. Fold in zucchini. Drop batter by rounded teaspoonful into hot oil. Fry until deep golden brown, turning once. Drain thoroughly on paper towels. Yields 1-1/2 to 2 dozen.
