Maryland Crab Cakes

Ingredients

1 pound Crab Meat (Jumbo Lump Preferred)

2 tablespoons Green Onion, Minced

2 tablespoons Red Bell Pepper, Minced

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs or 8 Saltine Crackers (Crushed)

1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard Powder

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

1/2 teaspoon Salt

FOR BREADING:

1 1/2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs

1/2 stick Butter, Melted

Step 1

Open crab meat container and drain off ALL excess juices.

Step 2

Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl (except the melted butter and 1 1/2 cups of panic bread crumbs, which you will use later for breading), and gently fold together,

Step 3

Portion crab mixture into 4 equal amounts and shape into cakes approximately 3 1/2″ in diameter by 1 inch thick.

Step 4

Place the cakes in the freezer for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to allow them to firm up.

Step 5

To bread the cakes, melt the butter and stir in the 1 1/2 cups of panko bread crumbs to create a moist crumb. Spread the crumbs mixture out in a shallow bowl and place each cake onto the crumbs to allow them to stick to each opposite side. Repeat for all 4 cakes.

Step 6

If you intend to bake your cakes, place them on a non-stick paving sheet and bake in a 400 F until golden brown. If you wish to pan-fry them, add a 1/4″ of vegetable oil to a frying pan and over medium high heat, pan-fry on both sides until golden brown.

A Little Story About This Dish…

There’s nothing more disappointing than eating a crab cake that’s full of bread crumbs and fillers to the point that you can barely taste the crab.

Our recipe is anything BUT that. It’s FULL of sweet crab.

You can pan-fry or oven bake these delicious cakes and serve with lemon or enjoy with a creamy tartar sauce.
