Ingredients
- 4 zucchini
- 1 cup Baking Mix, recipe follows
- 1/2 medium onion, diced small
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream, for serving
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
Directions
Grate 2 zucchini and reserve 2 whole for the Round 2 recipe "Stuffed Zucchini ". Put the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze well to remove the excess water.
In a large bowl combine the zucchini, baking mix, onion, eggs and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well to thoroughly combine.
Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure drop about 6 to 8 portions of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Fry on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper lined sheet pan.
In a small bowl mix together the sour cream and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the zucchini cakes on a serving platter and serve with the sour cream.
All-Purpose Baking Mix:
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 cup shortening
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry knife or fork until the mixture is well blended.

Very tasty easy recipe for zucchini cakes. I made it as written except used a baking mix to save time & work. Don ' t sauté onions. Leave raw and it 's delicious. Yummy is right!

More people really need to try this recipe. Yummy and pretty easy. I only wish she had said what the approximate measurement is for the shredded zucchini - my neighbor gave me a HUUUUGE one from her garden, so I had no idea how much of it to use. I gestimated about 2.5-3 cups b/c that's what it looked like in the video. I sauteed the onion, like others suggested, with a dash of red pepper flakes. Also, I divided the baking mix by 6 which means:
1 c. flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
pinch or two of salt
2 Tbsp butter
Or at least, those are the measurements I used, and it turned out great. Cheese would be a great addition, too - any white cheese, I think. Oh, and it made about 15 patties/cakes.
