1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup chilled whipped butter, must be cold, cut into small pieces

Squeeze all the excess moisture from the zucchini with a paper towel, you should wind up with 1 cup after it”s all squeezed.
In a bowl combine the zucchini, sun dried tomatoes, cheese and rosemary.
Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry blender, or you could use 2 knives, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Add milk mixture, stirring just until moist, without overworking the dough.
Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times with floured hands.
