That's interesting. Perhaps you use less flour, and more egg? I must try that.

I often serve them alongside pan-grilled chicken breast + light sauce - they pick up the sauce very well (as long as it is not too thick and have the benefit of being less stodgy and heavy than mash). One difference is that I do not form them into patties but plop a tablespoon or cup of the mixture into a heated, non-stick frying pan a la regular pancakes. This suggests I also use less flour - can't quite remember of the top of my head - because I wouldn't be able to form them into patties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
