Crab cakes are a delicious way to treat the whole family. With a good recipe and a little time they will be begging for more. Since taste is all that matters, I like to use a minimal amount of filler in my recipe. It tends to be a bit more expensive but the cost is worth it in taste.
How To Make:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of lump crab meat. Carefully pick out any shells. Crab cakes are much better without any shells.
- 3 – 4 ounces of bread crumbs. (the white bread crumbs work the best)
- 2 eggs
- 2 – 2 1/2 ounces of mayonnaise.
- Salt and pepper to taste. I like to add some parsley to mine as well.
Directions:
Mix your mayonnaise and eggs together and set aside.
Put crab meat in a bowl, add bread crumbs and seasonings. Put your egg/mayonnaise mixture on top and carefully mix it all together with your hand. Be careful not to break apart all the lumps. You want it to be lumpy..
Form a small amount into a cake or ball, whichever you prefer, and fry each crab cake with butter. I like to add a little lemon juice to my butter. My mom adds a little white wine to hers. I think that extra ingredient (whichever one you choose) makes our recipes that much better. Enjoy.
