What each ingredient does
- Sausage
- Provides the meat and fat that give the cakes their savory flavor and moisture.
- Eggs
- Bind the sausage and crackers together so the cakes hold their shape.
- Grated crackers
- Absorb moisture and help bind the mixture, giving the cakes a light texture.
The step that matters
Cook until golden brown, keeping the skillet covered while cooking.. Cooking over medium-high heat lets the outside brown and set while the interior cooks through. Covering the skillet traps steam, which helps the center cook through, so the cakes should be checked for doneness rather than judged by color alone.
