cupful for each. Coat cakes on both sides with flour; shake off excessiveness.
Brush both sides with beaten whites, then coat with remaining breadcrumbs.

Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high passion. Working in
batches, cook cakes until golden brown and heated through, most 4 minutes

Line: From the Bay View Restaurant, where these cakes are served with a
chopped tomato and basil salad. The Basil Aioli is also a good sauce for
grilled or sauteed fish. The basil could easy - and pleasurably - be
replaced by coriander, parsley or cive.
