and they were fabulous. I really liked them anyway, and they guys (not the demure ladies) at my small dinner party asked me to cook more(They saw the ones that I had planned to freeze for later) and I happily obliged. The sauce was simply white wine vinegar, chicken broth, and shallots, with butter stirred in the end. The cakes were great, but if I had to add anything, minced jap pepper maybe? Anyway, the recipe is a keeper in this house.
