Cook, turning once with a spatula, until cakes are browned on both sides and firm to the touch in the center, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to an ovenproof plate and keep warm in a 200? oven while you cook remaining cakes, adding more oil to pan as necessary.Yield: 12 Servings (1 cakes per serving)Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SLJGEMINI75.
