Step 1
How to make Viennese zucchini waffles from zucchini in a waffle iron? Prepare your food. Any zucchini will do, both young and mature; take a medium size. Take natural yogurt, without any additives. Low-fat sour cream or kefir is also suitable instead; you will need less kefir. You can use rice, corn, oatmeal or whole wheat flour. Read about the intricacies of working with rice flour at the end of this recipe.

Wash the zucchini, dry it, remove the skin. If the zucchini is young, you don’t have to cut it. The same applies to seeds — remove them from mature ones, leave them as they are when they are young. Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater. Add salt to the grated zucchini, stir and leave for 8-10 minutes. After the specified time, squeeze out the zucchini and drain the released liquid.
