Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/3 cups milk
1 egg
Freshly ground black pepper
1 quart canola oil (approximately, as needed for deep frying)
2 cups panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Irvine Spices Cajun Seasoning
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked for shells and with excess liquid carefully squeezed out without breaking up lumps
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Irvine Spices Specialty Chipotle Chile Powder
Salt

Steps:

  • To make the fritter batter, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another smaller bowl, whisk together oil, milk, egg and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and combine until all dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer.
  • Mix panko bread crumbs, Cajun Seasoning, mayonnaise, parsley and lemon juice. Fold in crab meat, trying to avoid breaking up lumps. Form crab mixture into "cocktail size" balls. Place the crab ball on a slotted spoon, and holding over the bowl of fritter batter, ladle enough of the batter over it to coat. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain.
  • Whisk together mayonnaise and Chipotle Chile Powder. Season, with salt, if needed. Serve crab fritters with spicy mayo as a dipping sauce.

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Corn kernels cut from 3 ears
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
Vegetable oil for frying
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt, for serving (optional)
Fresh Corn Mayo, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring as needed, for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne together.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, hot sauce, and Worcestershire together to combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet into it. Combine gently with a whisk, then, with a rubber spatula, gently fold in the corn and crabmeat, taking care to not break up the lumps of crab.
  • Add enough oil to come halfway up the side of a deep-sided cast iron skillet or Dutch oven or to the fill line of an electric fryer and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Working in batches of 6 to 8 and using a 2-tablespoon scoop (like a melon baller or ice cream scoop), carefully drop the fritter batter into the oil. You don't want the fritters browning too fast, so don't allow the temperature of the oil to go higher than 325 degrees F or to drop below 300 degrees F; adjust the heat under the pot as needed. Cover the pot with a splatter screen or the vented top if using an electric fryer to protect yourself, as individual corn kernels will pop and fly if they make contact with the hot oil. As the fritters float to the top, roll them over in the hot oil to brown them evenly. When they are golden on all sides, which will take 5 to 6 minutes per batch, use tongs, a slotted spoon, or a spider to transfer them to paper towels to drain. Season with salt immediately so the salt sticks to the fritters, if desired. Repeat until you use up all the batter.
  • Serve hot with the Fresh Corn Mayo.
