Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Herbed Butter:
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter - softened
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • Add flour, onion powder, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder together in a bowl and mix well.

  • Heat a non-stick 8 to 10 inch skillet, larger pan will cook faster and be a little thinner, smaller pan will be thicker and take a little longer to cook through but both will work, cooking times for each size pan are below.
  • Add olive oil to pan and heat to medium heat, heat is a major component to cooking this matafan perfectly.
  • Add batter and cover skillet and cook for 8 minutes, if using both a 8 or 10 inch skillet. If matafan starts to brown too easily, reduce the heat to low.
  • Use a large spatula to get under the matafan and flip quickly.
  • Finish cooking 4 minutes with a 10 inch skillet and 6 minutes with a 8 inch pan or until a fork can be inserted in the middle and comes out clean, The Swiss cheese should not stick to the fork.
  • Remove from heat and place on a serving dish so you can add herb butter, slice and serve.
  • To make to herbed butter; add butter, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder and salt in a bowl. Mix well and add on top of matafan before slicing.
