Time 40m

Yield 40 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 lb fresh crabmeat
1 cup biscuit mix (Pioneer, Bisquick)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
vegetable oil
1/2 cup creole mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • To make creole sauce: whisk together all the sauce ingredients; set aside or chill until ready to use.
  • To make the fritters: drain and flake the crabmeat; remove any bits of shell; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the biscuit mix and next 5 ingredients; stir to combine; make a well in the center of of the dry ingredients.
  • In another bowl, mix together the milk, egg, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce; add this mixture to the dry ingredients; stir just until moistened.
  • Add in crabmeat and stir minimally to combine.
  • Add oil to the depth of 2 inches in a dutch oven or electric fry pan; heat oil to 375°.
  • Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil; fry (a few at a time) for 30 seconds or until golden, turning once.
  • Serve immediately with creole sauce.

Tips:

  • For the freshest crab fritters, use fresh crabmeat. If you're using frozen crabmeat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to chop the crabmeat finely. This will help the fritters to hold together.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the fritters. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause them to stick together and not cook evenly.
  • Serve the crab fritters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
