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.

    A great recipe. I usually add a tablespoon of Old Bay Seasoning (I am a daughter of the Chesapeake Bay and substitute Ritz Crackers for Soda Crackers. Always let them chill in the refrigerator at least a couple of hours, if possible. I like to put these together in the morning before going to work, and when I get home - dinner in half an hour!

    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.

    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.
