Instructions
Stir together tvp and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes.
Add flour, bran, and dry spices; stir to incorporate.
In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed).
Add water mixture and remaining liquids to dry; mix well.
With your hands, form mixture into ½" thick patties.
Heat a quarter inch of oil in a cast iron pan.
When oil is hot, fry patties for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden.
Repeat last step with remaining batter, adding more oil each round as necessary.
Serve hot.
