Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a food processor until well combined. The mixture should be like a thick batter.
In a medium cast iron pan, heat oil. Once the oil is hot enough, drop heaping tablespoons worth of batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy around the edges.
Lay the cakes out onto a paper towel lined cooling rack.
Serve while hot alongside sour cream or your favorite sauce.
