Nice recipe Chef #DBLEE, my grandaughter and I enjoyed this tasty pancake very much. It was soft, tender and flavorful. The zucchini really shines in this dish. I cut the recipe in half and made 5 nice size pancakes. I did have to add another tbsp of flour to bind the pancake, it could be because my eggs were very large. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
