Notes

DO NOT ADD SALT TO THE BATTER! That's right don't add salt to the batter of these zucchini pancakes! That salt will make the zucchinis get very juicy! The juice will ruin your pancakes and make them a watery mess. Instead, wait until AFYER the pancakes are cooked and then sprinkle with salt.
