Very good recipe. I served it with a cold cucumber dip. (Sourcream and shredded Cucumber) It was great!

I made these the other night, followed the recipe exactly except I measured out the zucchini to the two cups, and then squeezed out a lot of the excess liquid. I also added a few drops of Tobasco to the egg mixture before I folded it in. Oh! and I didn't use as much oil as called for, just a quarter inch or so to the bottom of my big fry pan. They came out Great! Crispy, light and golden on the outside, moist and marvelous on the inside! Very easy to do besides! DH and I both loved 'em! Got twelve palm sized fritters exacty. Thanks for the recipe!!

Very tasty! Had some zucchinis that needed to be used, saw this and gave it a go. I used bisquick instead of flour and baking powder, that worked well.
