Zucchini Puffs

While cooking these the kids kept asking if I was making pizza.  These don't even have a hint of zucchini flavor.  They taste almost like a biscuit.  Makes 6 servings. 

Ingredients:
2 cups shredded zucchini
2 eggs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups buttermilk baking mix (OR 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 TBSP Baking Powder)
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup medium or sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
ground pepper to taste
oil for frying

Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, onion, and garlic, and cheese. Blend in baking mix (or flour & baking powder), salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Drop batter by spoonfuls into hot oil, and fry until evenly brown and fluffy. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt before serving.
