Yield Makes 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked through
2 heaping tablespoons prepared mayonnaise
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 heaping teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 small onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon powdered mustard
17 saltine crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup canola oil
Simple Tartar Sauce
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together crab meat, mayonnaise, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, onion, and mustard. Gently stir in crackers.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop crab mixture into 8 portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press each scoop into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add crab cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

These crab cakes were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The crab meat was fresh and flavorful, and the bread crumbs and spices gave them a great texture. I will definitely be making these again.
