Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shred the zucchini and drain it in a colander sprinkled with salt for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Cut in butter until crumbly.
In another bowl, combine the egg and milk. Stir in cheese, scallions, and drained zucchini.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about two inches apart.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
