Step 1: Mix all ingredients in a bowl just until mixture forms a thick batter, do not over mix. Add enough oil to frying pan to just cover bottom of pan and heat on medium high until hot.

Step 2: Drop one tablespoon of batter into hot oil to form a small patty. Fry on one side until golden brown. Turn and fry on the other side. Remove to paper towel lined plate.

Step 3: Continue browning in batches, adding more oil as necessary. This will make about 20 patties.

Step 4: Serve immediately with butter. You can also serve with honey or your favorite sweet preserves.
