   Once this is mixed take out small handfuls and pat out in hands small sized pancake shapes and then allow to sit on paper towel lined plate long enough for them to sorta dry out on out side and not so sticky to touch .

5. 5

   In skillet that has bacon fat add about 1/8th cup of oil to this if there doesn't seem to be enough to really fry these cause they tend to suck the oil up some, make sure you heat oil well and place the cakes a little but apart and allow to brown with out turning them to much may be about 2 to 3 minutes each side as long as oil is good and hot.

6. 6

   Once browned return to paper toweled plate to drain off excess oil and once these have drained you can serve them with rest of the cheese and some sour cream.
