Zucchini-Cornbread Fritters
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 2 dozen.
More than 40 years ago, a friend gave me this basic recipe, but over time I have adjusted the ingredients for my family's taste. I pan-fry these fritters so they don't get too greasy, but you can deep-fry them if you'd like. —Marietta Slater, Justin, Texas
