Ingredients

1 pound blue crabmeat

1 tablespoon small diced red bell pepper

1 tablespoon small diced green bell pepper

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves 

1 tablespoon heavy mayonnaise

2 eggs

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons Maryland-style crab seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)

2 tablespoons canola oil

Mustard Sauce, recipe follows

Mustard Sauce:

1/4 cup heavy mayonnaise

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients, except oil and Mustard Sauce until blended. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. With a tablespoon, carefully spoon poker-chip size mini-cakes into the pan. (The batter will be very loose since there are no bread crumbs, but once the egg in the mix starts to cook they will hold together fine.) Cook on 1 side until firm, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook for about 1 more minute. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve hot with mustard sauce.

Mustard Sauce:

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Love these! I would say as others have…once you mix it… put in fridge for a few hours to prevent from falling apart. Before I put them in oil I form then in a 1/3 measuring cup and press out the liquid (first spray the 3rd cup with Pam) . Then fry , not too high so that the popping of oil doesn’t break them apart. In terms of sauce…I add a packet or so of Splenda to balance the bite of the mustard.
