Squash Pancakes

Squash is associated with wholeness of the spirit and fruitfulness of the intuitive mind while lemons bring uplifting energy for clarity and happiness. Combine the two with the spicy energy of the green onions and you get an energizing dish to lift your mood, boost your health, and sharpen your senses.

You will need:
1 Tablespoon butter melted
1 teaspoon of honey
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
a good grind of black pepper
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
1/2 to 1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons almond flour
1 cup grated summer squash, yellow
or zucchini or a combo of each
2 Tablespoons diced green onion

Directions: Combine melted butter and honey and stir together. Add eggs and mix until incorporated. Add salt, pepper, and almond flour and mix together. Add zucchini, green onions, lemon zest and juice. Mix to form a thin batter.

Heat a nonstick pan. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Cold pressed grapeseed oil works well. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into hot pan and fry until golden brown. Do not rush. Let the first side cook until batter has set, then flip and cook other side until golden brown. Serve with butter or crème fraîche.
