Form the mix into 4 patties.

- Don't be tempted to use flour instead of breadcrumbs in this recipe. I made these with flour and they were very gluey in texture and had a strong floury taste.
- Don't have the pan on too high of a heat or the outsides can burn.
- Don't crowd the skillet, if your skillet is smaller, cook the patties in two batches. You may need to add a little more oil batches.
