Title: Crab Cakes
Post by: urnmor on May 02, 2022, 04:03:49 PM
One of our Daughter’s favorite meals is crab cakes.  As they came to visit I had to make them.  the only downside was my rice cooker went home with her.

They are very easy to make.  I always use two to three pounds of fresh crab meat and living in Maryland I prefer Maryland crab.  If I am using three pounds one is jumbo lump and the other two are  lump which by the way is significantly  less expensive.  As to the other ingredients I use one egg, saltine crackers (others use planks bread mix or fresh bread) old bay worcherstshire sauce mustard (I prefer grey potion or other similar type, some salt and mayonnaise and some times fresh parsley or other similar herb.  As the amount I normally use only one egg well beaten.  The others basic amounts in recipes and or delete as I think necessary

 With your cooing skills I am not sure why, however, when I first made them I found myself using to much 0f the mixture.  Since then I have learnt to cut back on the eggs ( I only use one) and add the mayonnaise as appropriate.  I also do not use a lot of filler.  I also think one of the keys is to make them in advance an place them in there refit for a half hour or more to firm up.

Thanks for the tips, it always seems to be what and how much other ingredients to use beside the crab!
