Rice Cakes

1. 1

   In a large bowl, gently mix everything except the butter.

2. 2

   Over medium-high heat, heat the butter in a large frying pan until it is foaming.

3. 3

   (A nonstick pan is good for this purpose but cast iron can work well, too.)

4. 4

   Working in batches if necessary, and adding more butter as needed, use a large spoon or measuring cup to place a scoop of the rice mixture in the pan.

5. 5

   Press down with the back of a spatula to form a patty.

6. 6

   Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the bottom.

7. 7

   Gently flip patty and cook another 3 minutes or until golden.

8. 8

   Keep warm on a paper-towel-covered plate or pan in a warm oven.
