Zuchinni Fritters

One of my family's favorite side dishes are Zuchinni Fritters. It is an old southern recipe, and it does not have measurements - so bear with me while I explain how to make it.

Grate 1-2 zuchinni. You want about 2-3 cups of grated squash when you are done. Leave the peel on the zuchinni, it tastes great and makes them more colorful.

Grate 1 yellow onion (this is a to taste thing - if you have big onions, you might want to use 1/2 or 1/4 instead of a whole one). The thing about grating the onion - you get sort of mush and juice. Works really well in this dish.

Add 1 beaten egg.

Add 2-3 tbsp flour (to thicken egg and juices) and salt and pepper to taste.

Heat a skillet and add 1/2 tbsp butter and some olive oil. When the pan is hot, add heaping spoonfuls of the zuchinni mixture. Generally I flatten them down (pancake size) and brown on each side. You can take them off, put them on a cookie sheet and keep them hot in the oven.

That's all there is to it!
