Down home crab cakes are heavy on the crab, light on the filler. Ingredients:
16 saltine crackers, finely crushed |
2 tablespoons water |
1 pound flaked cooked crabmeat |
1 egg, beaten |
1 tablespoon prepared mustard |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as old bay®) (optional) |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying |
Directions:
1. Stir the cracker crumbs and water together in a mixing bowl. Let stand 1 minute to soften the crackers. Add the crabmeat, egg, mustard, and mayonnaise. Season with Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper; stir until evenly mixed.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Form the crab mixture into patties 3/4-inch thick. Cook in the hot oil until golden brown on each side and hot in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
