All Saints Summer Supper Maryland Crab Cakes Recipe

Name: All Saints Summer Supper Maryland Crab Cakes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb crabmeat (claw or backfin); 1 egg; 3 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or 2 t. powder); 2 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard powder; 1 teaspoon dried parsley; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning; 2 ounces breadcrumbs (1/2 cup); 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Servings: persons

1
Pick through your crab; there are ALWAYS shells missed at the plant (they pick fast and furiously!).
2
Mix all ingredients EXCEPT the breadcrumbs. You can beat the egg before adding, but I scramble it a bit in the bowl then use my hands to get a consistent mix.
3
Add the breadcrumbs a bit at a time. The goal is to have just enough to bind the mix into patties, but not too much!
4
GENTLY form the mixture into patties, about 31/2 inches in diameter, and 3/4 inch thick. Note that you can make them smaller, if they are appetizers. At this stage, you can refrigerate them; doing so allows a little bit of flavor blending to occur (a good thing).
5
Get a cast iron skillet hot, and melt some olive oil, then butter in the pan.
6
Saute over medium heat, flipping once, so that both side are a golden brown.
7
OPTIONAL Step: after you flip once, add some red wine to the pan, it adds a light glaze to the cakes, and a nice flavor!
8
Serve with tartar sauce, as entree, appetizer, or sandwich.
