We add sugar or soy to get the patty just right. A little goes a long way.
Also, bee sure to visit http://www.internode.net/HoneyBee/ and check out the
pollen patty link, and to visit the BEE-L logs.
In the meantime, a simple and obvious answer is to simply add more of something
dry until the texture gets the way you want it. Just remember that the patties
will get drier for a few hours after they are made, since the dry ingredients
will soak up the moisture slowly, so you usually want them a little sloppy at
first.
Another point: don't stop in the middle of making them and have lunch. They
will get difficult to work with sometimes due this setting up process.
