Mini Zucchini Fritters

• 1 jumbo egg
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup flour, sifted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• pinch of freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 cups zucchini, finely grated
• 1 shallot, minced
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

1. Beat the egg, milk and melted butter together and add to the flour, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth, but do not overbeat.
2. Put the zucchini in a piece of cheesecloth or a clean dish towel and squeeze the excess liquid out. Saute with the shallot in the two teaspoons of butter until soft, about three to five minutes.
3. Add the zucchini mixture to the batter and drop the batter onto a well-greased, hot griddle in rounds, approximately two and a half inches in diameter. Turn when golden brown.
