Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
Add corn, zucchini, onion, mint and zest and stir until combined. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches, drop batter by scant 1/4-cup measures into skillet.
Cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side; lower heat if pancakes begin to brown too deeply before middle is cooked through.
Add more oil between batches if necessary. Serve the pancakes warm or room temperature.
