Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 Egg
- 2 packets of crab or simply half a pound of crab meat
- Green Onions
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 cup of Bread Crumbs or Crumbled Original Water Crackers
- Vegetable Oil
- Garlic Salt or Minced Garlic
- Pepper
- 1/2 cup of Yellow Corn Meal
- Tartar Sauce (to dip)
- Optional Peas & Carrots
- Optional 1/2 cup of Diced Celery
Instructions
- Add the cooking oil to a pan & set your stove to high. Wait for 5 minutes for the oil to heat & turn it down to medium before adding the crab cakes.
- Upon adding the crab cakes, take a spatula & press against them, making them flat or lightly press against them so that they seem more plump.
- Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until a golden color.
- If the oil begins to collectively look like it’s turning way too brown or just collecting way too many crumbs, empty it out into your sink & add more oil. This makes all the difference in your crab cakes’ appearance.
- Set aside tartar sauce &/or ketchup in a dipping dish & enjoy your crab cakes!
Notes
- I know in my picture it displays 4 packets of crab meat but that was because I was making a large amount of crab cakes for my friends. If you decide to use 4 packets, remember to double everything!
