I am just loving these summer vegetables. People have been bringing me lots of zucchini lately and I’ve been busy making lots of zukkie bread and freezing it for the winter months. Of course I’ve been eating some of it also…my hips are just loving it. Tonight I made these Zucchini Puffs. Normally I don’t measure anything, I just mix it up and look at the texture of the batter. I did a measure tonight so I would know that I was giving the correct measurements. OMG, they were delicious. I didn’t get around to making anything else for my dinner since I ate 6 of these delightful, yummy puffs.
BTW, the recipe below is a modified version of the recipe I sent into allrecipes.com back in 2001. I’m always tinkering with my recipes…
Zucchini Puffs
2 small zucchini squash, shredded (about 2 to 3 cups)
1 egg
1/2 large onion, shredded or finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 heaping teaspoon of the chopped garlic from the jar)
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
salt and ground black pepper to taste
oil for frying
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, onion, and garlic. Blend in baking mix, salt and pepper.
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F or fry them in a fryin’ pan.
Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into hot oil, and fry until evenly brown and fluffy. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt before serving.
These puffs are like eatin’ heaven. I’m just sayin’…
Those look great Anna – I make zucchini fritters which are very similar. So good!
Fritters! Yum, I make a corn fritter. As soon as I am able to pick my corn, I’ll be making some corn fritters!!
