Zucchini Pancakes

Submitted by Little Suzy Homemak

"These zucchini pancakes have a little Parmesan cheese in them for flavor. Recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens July 2007. Great variation for all the zucchini my one plant has bestowed upon us!"

These were pretty good. I increased the amount of onion to 3/4 cup for a little more zing and threw in some fresh parsley, but left out the garlic and parmesan. (I decided I had to choose between cheese and sour cream. The sour cream won. And I was out of garlic. :-[ ) All in all, I would make these again. Next time, I'll try them with the garlic and parmesan and skip the sour cream in favor of a marinara sauce. (I might also add a little dried oregano to the batter.)

I made 100 of these pancakes for a party the other day and they just disappeared from the platter. They had rave reviews.
