Clam cake

Imagine a yummy snack that is round like a pancake but made with clams. That's a clam cake! To make a clam cake, the cooks start by mixing together flour, baking powder, and other ingredients to make a batter. Then they add in small pieces of fresh clams to the batter. The mixture is shaped into small rounds and then fried in oil until they turn golden and crispy on the outside. When you take a bite, you'll taste the savory flavor of the clams blended with the soft, fluffy dough. Clam cakes are a delicious seaside treat that go great with a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of tartar sauce. Yummy!
