Authentic Crab Cakes
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning™
  • 2 tablespoons biscuit baking mix
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound crabmeat
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1
Combine Old Bay seasoning, baking mix, and chopped parsley in a medium-sized bowl. Blend the ingredients together until well combined.
2
Next, combine mayonnaise, mustard, egg, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl. Mix these ingredients until smooth.
3
Now, gently fold the crab meat into the wet ingredients mixture. Be careful not to break up the lumps of crab meat.
4
Form the mixture into 6-8 small patties. You can shape them as desired, but make sure they're all roughly the same size.
5
Heat 1 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. The ideal temperature is 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
6
Carefully place the crab cakes in the hot oil, and use a spatula to gently flatten them slightly.
7
Flip the crab cakes over after 3 minutes, or when they're golden brown on one side. Continue cooking until they're done to your liking.
8
Remove the crab cakes from the oil with a slotted spoon, and drain them on paper towels.
