Great crab cake recipe. Thanks Dad. We miss you! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons margarine |
1/2 cup minced onion |
1/2 cup minced green bell pepper |
1 tablespoon dry mustard |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as old bay®) |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as tabasco®) |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 1/4 cups light cream |
1 pound crab meat |
2 egg yolks, beaten |
1/2 cup bread crumbs |
1 tablespoon melted butter |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1 cup corn oil, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in margarine until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mustard, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning, salt, hot pepper sauce, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into the onion mixture. Sprinkle flour over the mixture; stir to integrate. Pour cream over the mixture; bring to a boil, stirring constantly and cook for 1 minute. Fold crab meat into the mixture.
2. Spoon some of the liquid from the skillet into the bowl with the beaten egg yolks to temper the egg; stir. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
3. Transfer crab mixture to a bowl; refrigerate until chilled completely, about 1 hour.
4. Mix bread crumbs, melted butter, and paprika in a shallow bowl.
5. Divide the crab mixture into 4 portions; form into patties. Gently press the patties into the bread crumb mixture to coat.
6. Pour enough corn oil into a flat-bottomed pan to be 1-inch deep; heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
7. Cook patties in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
