Maryland crabcakes
4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Crabmeat; (backfin and/or lump) |
| 1 | large | Egg |
| ¼ | cup | Hellman's mayonnaise |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Pepper |
| 1 | teaspoon | Worcestershire sauce |
| 1 | teaspoon | Old Bay Seasoning |
| 1 | teaspoon | Dry mustard |
| Saltine crackers | ||
| Oil and/or butter for frying | ||
Directions
Pick out any shell from crabmeat and place crab in a large bowl.
In a small bowl mix egg, mayo, and seasonings. Pour over crabmeat and fold gently until blended. Crush the saltine crackers with your fingers into coarse crumbs. I don't actually measure, but use enough to help the mixture hold together, probably about half of a sleeve of crackers. Fold in the cracker crumbs gently. Cover bowl and chill until ready to cook.
Form into small patties (about 10 - 12) and fry in hot oil/butter 5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Serve immediately.
