Crab Cakes
Description
Crab Cakes are prepared by mixing mayonnaise, eggs, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, cayenne pepper, Old Bay seasoning, and half the panko breadcrumbs in a bowl. Lump crabmeat is gently folded in along with the remaining breadcrumbs to create a moist but firm mixture.
The mixture is formed into flat patties and coated with additional panko breadcrumbs before frying in half an inch of heated vegetable oil. Frying over medium heat creates a crispy, golden crust while preserving the cake’s moist and flaky interior.
These crab cakes are typically served immediately after frying with accompaniments such as tartar or spicy remoulade sauce, enhancing the seafood flavor. They work well as appetizers or part of a light meal.
