Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and melted butter until well blended, then pour over the dry mixture.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until fully combined, adjusting with more broth if too dry.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.
  6. Shape portions of the mixture into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, turning halfway through for even browning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
