Not the most traditional recipe, but quite good.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb crab meat. Fresh is best! ( you can use canned from the refrigerated section but make sure it’s “back fin” vs claws or Trader Joe’s lump crab)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Tab Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tab baking powder
- 3 slices white bread, crust removed
- 2 Tab milk (a little extra if bread is dry)
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp mayo (she swore by Hellman’s which is Best Foods here)
- 1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
- ¼ tsp white vinegar
- 1 egg, beaten
- vegetable oil or shortening
Directions:
- Break bread into small pieces in bowl.
- Moisten with the milk until almost soggy.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
- Using approximately 2T of mix, shape into cakes. Place on plate.
- Refrigerate.
- Fry in a small amount of vegetable oil or shortening.
Serves: 20 cakes at 2 tablespoons/cake or (40 minis at 1 tablespoon/cake)
