Crab Cakes

[Roxy]

These absorb what seems like excess liquid during chilling time. Recipe came from a crab cook off.

 

Crab Cakes:

 

2 eggs

3 Tbsp mayonnaise

3 Tbsp half and half

2 tsp Worchestershire

1 Tbsp. fresh chopped parlsey or 1 tsp dry

2 tsp Old Bay or to taste (I use more)

1 Tbsp melted butter

1 lb backfin crab meat or jumbo lump (the best you can afford)

1 1/2 slices of white bread crusts removed

Fresh bread crumbs - probably about 2 c.

 

In small bowl combine first 7 ingredients thoroughly.

 

Break bread into tiny pieces into a medium bowl. Add and toss picked crab meat. Pour liquid ingredients over the crabmeat/bread mixture and gently combine. Form into cakes (messy) and roll in fresh bread crumbs. Place on plate, cover and chill 3-4 hours.

 

Saute in combination of oil and butter until nicely browned on both sides
