Yield Makes 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked through
2 heaping tablespoons prepared mayonnaise
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 heaping teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 small onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon powdered mustard
17 saltine crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup canola oil
Simple Tartar Sauce
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together crab meat, mayonnaise, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, onion, and mustard. Gently stir in crackers.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop crab mixture into 8 portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press each scoop into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add crab cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

I've made crab cakes many times before, but this recipe was by far the best. The cakes were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. My family loved them!

These crab cakes were absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. The crab meat was fresh and flavorful, and the bread crumbs and spices added just the right amount of texture and taste.
