Notes
- Buttermilk: Low-fat or full-fat buttermilk will work.
- Brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar will work.
- Zucchini: I don't squeeze any of the moisture out of the zucchini.
- Flour: It's important to properly measure the flours. Sift or stir the flour, lightly spoon it into the measuring cup, and level.
