Crab Cake Recipe

Provided by: Robin Reckard

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.
