Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup onion, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1 cup soda crackers, finely crushed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Lemon wedges

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, onion, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt and cayenne. Fold in the crabmeat and 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs. Shape the mixture into 16 cakes about 1-inch thick. Coat the crab cakes with the remaining cracker crumbs and transfer to a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. The crab cakes can be refrigerated overnight at this point, if needed. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 2 tablespoons of the oil. When the foam subsides, add half the crab cakes and cook over moderate heat until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain the crab cakes on paper towels, then keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil and cook the remaining crab cakes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Excellent without the 'heat'
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These taste great and don't have the excessive spicy heat of so many recipes I've tried. I used reguar bread crumbs and they... still taste great. I've even done it with 'fake' crab meat instead of the real thing and it works almost as well.Read more

lovely crab cakes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a terrific recipe. The crab cakes were quite filling. I think this definitely feeds 5 or 6 people, especially if you... have side dishes as well.Read more

Crab Cake Recipe Upgrade
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Great recipe. We added 1 teaspoon of Louisiana hot sauce and 2 cloves of garlic. Alternative is to replace the soda... crackers with dry Quaker oats. All this recipe needs is a little "kick".Read more

Way above average
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had no soda crackers so we toasted 4 slices of bread and crushed it. We added 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Chilled the mixture... before making patties. Even the children loved the cakes. We used fresh cooked crab from Oregon coast. Very easy.Read more
