Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
Use a large skillet to cook the cakes. This will help them cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the cakes will not cook evenly.
Cook the cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, remoulade, or cocktail sauce are all good choices.
