Grate the courgette and squeeze out excess moisture by pressing between kitchen paper.
In a bowl, pour the plain flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and stir to combine.
Next add the butter, courgette, cheddar, chives and egg. Gradually combine the mixture with the flour adding the buttermilk until a soft and sticky mixture is obtained.
