These cornmeal cakes are yummy, classic, and made from wholesome ingredients. We got the cornmeal for these at Murray’s Mill, which is a place you should visit.

15.5 oz White Beans, drained and mashed (Cannelloni Beans, preferred)
1/4 Cup Yellow Cornmeal
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce

1/4 Cup Finely Diced Red Onions
