  5. NOTE: as mixture sits the zucchini will continue to make liquid so add flour as needed between batches of frying.

  6. Mold into 1/2 tbl sized balls (about 25 total)

  7. When oil reaches 355F slip about 6 balls at a time into hot oil. Seperate them as they float together so they dont stick.
