Zucchini Pancakes
Tortas de CalabacitasSometimes these vegetable pancakes are taken on picnics and eaten cold. I like them best hot, right out of the pan, served with meat or chicken. The pancakes are also excellent for breakfast with chorizo sausage or ham. For the best results, squeeze the watery juices from the zucchini before stirring it into the batter.
Ingrediënten

Instructies
