Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Wash and dry both zucchinis
Remove both ends of the zucchini
Cut both zucchinis into thin coin shapes (smaller than 1inch thick each)
In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, salt, pepper - mix well
To the wet batter, add flour, and baking powder, and dried parsley - mix well
The batter should become like pancake mix, and you should be able to make ribbons from it (without the batter breaking)
Over medium heat, add the canola oil and margarine to your pan so it coats it nicely for shallow frying
You know your oil is ready for frying if you place a wooden spoon in it and it begins to bubble around it
Coat each zucchini slice in the batter on both sides and add to the pan
Flip each slice after about 3 minutes or until you can see a crispy golden exterior
Once flipped, cook for another 3 minutes and allow to cool on a baking tray with paper towels
Add an extra dash of salt and pepper to the fritters if you desire before serving

Notes

Store in fridge in an air tight container to keep the freshness in! Enjoy it at it's best for about 5 days (if you have any leftovers, they're that good.)
