This is my mom's (Mimi's) crab cake recipe, and I think it's the best! She originally came to Florida from Baltimore, and they know their crab cakes there! This might even be an Old Bay recipe, I don't know. I like to make these and my potato salad and Mimi's baked beans for special occasions. Mimi used to serve her crab cakes with her coleslaw as a side dish. This recipe makes 8-10 cakes depending on the size. Ingredients:
1 lb fancy white crab meat (and claw) |
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon sea salt |
1 tablespoon mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce or 1 tablespoon yellow mustard |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 large egg, beaten |
1/2 cup prepared italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
canola oil, for quick frying |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients (except canola oil) together and shape into cakes (about 8-10).
2. In large skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat.
3. Add cakes and cook, turning once, until brown (~3 to 5 minutes per side).
4. Drain well on absorbent paper.
5. Serve with tartar sauce or Dijon mustard, or make crab cake sandwiches with lettuce & tomato.
