Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced shallot (from 2 shallots)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 ounces lump crabmeat
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley plus 1/4 cup whole leaves, for garnish
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 tablespoons large brine-packed capers, rinsed and dried, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add flour, and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Add milk in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook, whisking often, until mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add crabmeat, Parmesan, minced parsley, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne. Remove from heat, and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet, and let cool completely. (Cooled mixture can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
  • Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk eggs in a shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Shape cooled crabmeat mixture into 1-inch balls. Working with 1 ball at a time, coat in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs. Transfer to rack. Repeat with remaining balls. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 4 inches of oil in a large, heavy pot until it reaches 375 degrees. Working in batches, fry crab balls, turning once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature.) Using a wire-mesh skimmer, transfer crab puffs to paper towels to drain, and immediately season with salt.
  • Reduce heat until oil reaches 350 degrees. Fry capers for 1 minute, and using a wire-mesh skimmer, transfer to paper towels to drain. Fry parsley leaves for 1 minute, and using a wire-mesh skimmer, transfer to paper towels to drain. (The capers and parsley may cause the hot oil to spatter when added to the pot.) Sprinkle puffs with capers and parsley. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality crab meat: Fresh or frozen king crab meat can be used for this recipe, but make sure it is of good quality and free of any shells or cartilage.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the puffs tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven: The key to getting crispy puffs is to use a hot oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F before baking the puffs.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the puffs on the baking sheet so that they can rise and cook evenly.
  • Serve the puffs warm: King crab puffs are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
