“I don't remember where I got this recipe, but these turn out perfect. Soft and cakelike on the inside, but crispy on the outside and edges. The secret is in the mix you use to coat them. I just put the baking time down for the cooking time, because you'll probably do multiple batches in the oven, but I don't know how long it'll take you.”
