Apple & Wild Rice Cakes

Every year I try out new recipes for Thanksgiving, and this was my experiment for Thanksgiving 2004. It became an instant favorite, sure to be repeated next year. Then it occurred to me, it would also be a great thing to make for a Hanukkah Party as a main course latke. Exceptional flavor and consistency, although if the cakes aren't sticking together well enough, you may need to add an additional egg or egg white.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. add apples, zest and remaining ingredients, and mix well.

Pat two tablespoons of mix into a cake and fry on both sides until brown and crispy.

Keep finished pancakes warm in oven on cookie sheets lined with paper towels until all pancakes are fried. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
