How To Make Easy Zucchini Fritters
This homemade Zucchini Fritters
Recipe is oh-so-easy to make and you’ll get perfectly crispy fritters every time. Watch the video tutorial and see how easy it is.
Ingredients
2 lb zucchini, about 2 large or 5 medium
1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper olive oil for sautéing
sour cream, to serve
Instructions
1. Wash zucchini and trim off ends. Grate on the large holes of a box grater or
use the grater attachment for the food processor. Place zucchini in a large mixing bowl, stir in 1 tsp salt, and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. After 10 minutes, squeeze handfuls of zucchini tightly over the sink to remove extra water. It helps to wring it out in a cheesecloth if you have one. It is impressive how much water comes out! You should end up with 3 1/2 to 4 cups of squeezed dry zucchini. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Add 1/2 cups chopped green onion and 2 lightly beaten eggs.
4. In a small bowl, stir together 3/4 cup flour with 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, or season to taste. Add flour mixture into zucchini mixture and stir until well combined.
5. Place a large heavy-bottomed cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat* and add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the zucchini mixture a heaping tablespoon at a time** and flatten out the tops slightly to make them pancake -shaped. Sauté for 3-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. If they brown too quickly, reduce the heat. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream.

BRING HER BACK!
A great woman erased from history by idiots.
The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834
Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, selfrising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional.
Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid.

Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period. Bring her back.

It might be necessary to rethink something to early September you thought had been put in place during July, mainly because you begin to realise that there is a need to ensure some sort of personal independence. Someone else you might be dealing with can be more forward than you thought when it comes to what they expect.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication has returned to your sign again until 9th September, placing you in a situation where you need to rethink something on a personal level or that could affect you personally. This could be tied into a level of independence you realise is important when it comes to commitments.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
Increased expectations from somebody else that you could feel are a bit over the top can put pressure on what little time you have available for relaxation. You may not feel you are being appreciated. It might be time to late August to again restate what you are prepared to commit to based on things important to you, not them.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
Don’t promise anything too quickly as there could be more responsibility attached than you initially realise. Opportunity will not pass you by – there is time for more careful consideration. From now to end August it would be good to go over any ideas or agreements you considered in July so you can restructure in early September.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
Whatever decisions you thought might have been final or settled since end July will very likely require some rethinking to early September. To gain ultimate clarity you need to find somequietanduninterruptedtimeto yourself. You need to be cautious about generously taking on obligations that someone else might expect.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.22-Dec.21)
Someone else can be full speed ahead or want matters to go that way. This could challenge any stable foundation you have been working at putting in place since March 2023. Whatever future directions you thought you had settled on during July could need some rethinking to early September, especially how usual routines could be affected.
Discussion or agreements you had during July could now return for further consideration to late August. The main thing is that you do not allow your underlying need for independence to be altered or challenged. Your sense of security is tied into having some freedom and enjoyment, if only from small pleasures.
CANCER (June
21-July 22)
There is more going on behind the scenes than you realise, which could have a level of impatience attached. However, being able to turn this into a stable long term situation has some challenges right now. This might make you realise to late August that having some level of financial independence gives you choices.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
You could feel excited about a vision of future prospects that could be developed. This will take a huge amount of detailed work requiring continued commitment on a daily basis that could easily take the shine off the level of growth that seems possible. You need to rethink important prioritiesto you in life to late August and how this might fit with thesegoals.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan.19)
However well planned daily routines seem to be, expect even more to come along and challenge you. For this reason you cannot afford to leave things to another day that need to be handled or you will run out of time. You could find to late August the expectations of others have not moved on and finalised as you had presumed.
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
It might start to seem you have not been able to rely on what somebody else has said during July or you may wonder whether you misunderstood them. Up to early September you need to focus on the finer details then you will be in a better position to negotiate during September. Be serious about what you want to put in place.
There can be matters where it might be wise not to make your thoughts entirely clear or situations that are a mystery to you. Watch your words, especially if you feel frustrated because you could end up saying more than is wise, particularly if you feel that somebody else is expecting too much for their own benefit.
