Old Bay Corn Flake Crab Cakes Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by ltrodrigu

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup corn flakes cereal
Splash of milk
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound lump crabmeat
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for frying
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
Olive oil for frying
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

In a bowl, crush corn flakes into a crumbly powder. Moisten corn-flake powder with a splash of milk to create a loose consistency. Stir in mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce. Then stir in crabmeat, baking powder, parsley, Old Bay, salt and egg until thoroughly combined. Shape into patties, then chill in refrigerator for 40 minutes. Heat ¼ inch oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Remove crab cakes from refrigerator and sprinkle with additional Old Bay. Add crab patties to pan, working in batches if necessary. Pan-fry until golden-brown on exterior, 2-3 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

For the freshest crab meat, buy live crabs and steam them yourself. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
Use a light hand when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make them tough.
Be careful not to overcook the crab cakes. They should be cooked through, but still moist and tender.
Serve crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or lemon-butter sauce.
