Are the butter bean cakes supposed to be mushy? I follow the directions in the book and they are mushy going into pan, mushy when I try to flip them and mushy when they come out of the pan. If I leave them in longer they will be black instead of dark brown. They are good but I am wondering if they are supposed to be mushy or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks,
Eva

Re: Butter Bean Cakes are mushy
I made them yesterday too and had the same result. They were yummy, but a little mushy. I thought about adding popcorn flour. I made the corn chowder today. SO AMAZING. You should try it. The burgers with pinto beans, ground sirloin and turkey are great too! I served them for Father's Day BBQ! Even the kids liked them!

Did you refrigerate them before you made the cakes? That helps firm them up. I have made them only 1 time and they did ok.

Yes I did. I had them in the fridge for about 3 hours. I'll try again and add the popcorn flour. The meatloaf is great isn't it? My husband wasn't sure about the mushrooms, but once he finished 3 slices he loved it.

Yes refrigerated them for a couple of hours but I live in Florida and it is 100 degrees today and we are not using the AC cause we can't afford it right now. So even if I refrigerate it, it would not take long to get warm in this heat but it was cold when I put it in the pan. I let the pan and oil get hot so it sizzled right away when I put it in pan. I was thinking maybe I need to freeze the patties before I put it in the pan.
Just was checking to see if I missed a step.
