Steps:
- Finely crush the saltine crackers in your hands and place in a large bowl. Add the crabmeat, reserving any crab juice in a separate small bowl.
- To the bowl with the crab juice, add the mayonnaise egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce; whisk until smooth. Season with black pepper.
- Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crab and saltines. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Scoop the crab mixture into six patties, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Be careful not to handle the mixture too much.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook until deeply golden and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- For the freshest crab cakes, use fresh crab meat. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be gentle when mixing the crab cakes. Over-mixing will make them tough.
- Form the crab cakes into 1-inch patties. If they are too thick, they will not cook evenly.
- Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the crab cakes will not cook evenly.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Balsamic crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family.
