Original Old Bay Crab Cakes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 slices dried bread, crusts removed
- 1 Tbs. milk
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 pound lump crabmeat
- vegetable oil
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, break bread into small pieces. Moisten with milk.
2. Add mayo, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, baking powder, Old Bay, salt, egg and crabmeat. Mix lightly and shape into 4 patties. Refrigerate patties 30 minutes to help keep them stay formed when cooking.
3. Fill your frying pan with about 1/4? vegetable oil. Over medium-high heat, fry until golden-brown on both sides. I usually flip every 1 minute to avoid over frying.
Mike�s comment�s:
These are Maryland (Eastern Shore) style crab cakes. They are typically served either plain or with mayonnaise. If you want a spicier dipping sauce try this:
Spicy Remoulade Dipping Sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup horseradish
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbs. hot sauce
- 1 tsp. paprika
In a medium-bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
