Zucchini Patties

3 cups coarsely shredded zucchini, drained

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup grated cheese

1/2 cup onion, chopped

1 cup biscuit mix

Combine, form into patties, fry slowly in a little oil or butter. 

Makes 6 pancake-size patties.

I have only made these using zucchini that I grated and froze, 3 cups to a bag, in the fall. The first time, I didn't drain it and had to add several extra cups of biscuit mix in order to get a batter I could drop by the spoonful onto a griddle. 

The second time, I drained the zucchini. The batter still wasn't thick enough to form by hand into patties, so again I dropped it by spoon onto the griddle and spread it a bit to flatten it. This is what you see above.

I don't buy commercial biscuit mix, and used the homemade Master Mix instead. It's so handy!
