JP's BLACK-EYE PEA CAKES

I had my first pea cake in the Virgin Islands in the eighties while on a Schwep's Ginger Ale TV commercial with John Cleese and Paul Weiland Films out of London. A very old street vendor was selling jerk chicken, pea cakes and ice cold Red Stripe Beer. I returned to Atlanta and immediately began working on the recipe.
Yields: 60 3" pea cakes    (Don't be surprised if people eat 8 or more pea cakes each)

Ingredients

1 Large Bunch Fresh Cilantro  ( 1 cup chopped & save 3 tblsp for sour cream dip)
3-4 Large Green Onions
2 cans Glory Black Eye Peas 15 oz. net wt. (undrained partially mashed with potato masher)

Club Soda

FOLD IN THE PEA MIXTURE FROM BOWL #1
MEANWHILE...Preheat Griddle to 300?....Until Hot water dances and evaporates....

With a Tablespoon Measuring Spoon....Dip the pea Cake Batter and drop it onto the hot griddle....
When the top of the pea cake is no longer liquid and air bubbles appear...it is time to flip ...
adjust heat if necessary ... taste  a cooled peacake to see if you need to adjust spices .
Remove from Griddle....

Try not to stack while HOT.....they get soggy.
