Maryland Crab Cakes are a classic! We like it with cracker crumbs, but bread crumbs will do, too.
1 pound fresh lump crab meat (canned will do, too, in a pinch -- drain well). ½ cup crushed saltine crackers. ¼ cup milk 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce ½ teaspoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped green pepper 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning ¼ teaspoon salt 1 egg, beaten
Mix all ingredients together, shape into patties. Mix all ingredients together, shape into patties. Place on a cookie sheet and chill for a half-hour before cooking.
When chilled, in a skillet, heat two tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Set crab cakes in pan and fry until golden, about three or four minutes on each side. Serve warm. Enjoy!
