A "secret" recipe that my aunt gave my mother in 1983. My aunt was the kind of person who was a good cook but would hide her recipes from other women. Am guessing at how many puffs you might get from this. Mom says this is really good and popular with her lady friends.

Tips:

Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients, as the batter will be quite thick.
Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater.
Squeeze the grated zucchini in a cheesecloth or paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the fritters to be crispy.
Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the fritters, as they tend to stick easily.
Cook the fritters over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
