Vegan Sausage Patties Recipe 445

Steps:

• Stir together textured vegetable protein and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes. Add flour, bran, and dry spices; stir to incorporate. In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed). Add water mixture and remaining liquids to dry; mix well. With your hands, form mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties. Heat a 1/4-inch of canola oil in a cast iron pan. When the canola oil is hot, fry patties for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden. Repeat the last step with remaining batter, adding more oil each round as necessary. Serve hot.
