Zucchini Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups fresh zucchini, grated, uncooked
salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pepper
2 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons oil

Preparation

Tightly wrap the lightly salted grated zucchini in cheesecloth or a kitchen towel; squeeze out excess liquid (salt will reduce bitterness).
Remove zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
Add beaten egg, baking powder and pepper.
Mix thoroughly and let stand for at least 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan to medium high heat.
Right before frying, whisk in the 2 tablespoons of flour to bind mixture. Drop mixture into hot oil and form into small cakes (3\" in diameter).
Cook until lightly browned on each side; avoid burning edges.
