Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
- Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

SAVORY ZUCCHINI PANCAKES WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL
Steps:
- Salt grated zucchini and place in a collander in the sink for 1 1/2 hours. The salt will draw out the water in the zucchini. Rinse well, shake out additional water and pat dry to remove as much residual moisture as possible. Place the zucchini in a medium bowl, add the diced onion, flour, spices and cheese. Add 4 eggs and mix well with a fork, based on the consistency add 1 - 2 more eggs. Add just enough egg to coat all of the zucchini. The batter should be thick. As the batter sits, it will become more liquidy. Make sure to stir well before scooping each batch. You do not need to add more flour. Heat a large nonstick skillet on high heat, do not add oil, use a nonstick spray before the first batch, but not between batches. Using a soup spoon or tablespoon spoon, scoop the batter and form pancake-like circles, you may need to use the back of the spoon to flatten them out. Do not make them too large or they will be difficult to flip. Perfact size is between 3 and 4 inches in diameter. Cover the pan and allow them to cook until they brown on the bottom, flip carefully and brown the other side. It will take approximately 3 - 4 minutes per side. Place cooked zucchini cakes in a single layer on a cookie sheet, they will be a little soft and fragile. You can firm them up place them in a 250 degree oven for 15 - 20 minutes. Tomato & Basil Combine tomato, onion and cheese (optional) in a small bowl. Dress with oil, vinegar and spices to taste. Serve Zucchini Cakes warm, topped with tomato and fresh basil.

Steps:
- Make basil chive cream:
- Blend sour cream, water, basil, chives, and salt in a blender until smooth and pale green. Chill until ready to serve.
- Make pancakes:
- Put zucchini in a colander and toss with salt. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes, then wrap zucchini in a kitchen towel and twist towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl and stir in flour, sugar, and pepper.
- Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks, then gently fold into zucchini mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 5, spoon 2 tablespoons batter per pancake into skillet, flattening slightly with back of spoon. Cook pancakes, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes total, transferring as cooked to paper towels to drain and adding more oil to skillet as necessary.
- Serve immediately, with basil chive cream.
Tips:
- Use a box grater to shred the zucchini. This will help to create a uniform texture and ensure that the pancakes cook evenly.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent the pancakes from becoming too soggy.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some suggested toppings include fresh tomatoes, basil, sour cream, or salsa.
Conclusion:
Savory zucchini pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their light and fluffy texture and flavorful filling, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
