12 to 16 oz real or imitation crab meat
I do 16, I like crabby cakes
1/ 4 cup mayonnaise ( I use light)
1 egg
1/2 cup water
I add salt /pepper to mix
just a dash of each
a pinch of parsley (dried is fine)
a pinch of onion powder
mix well together
store in fridge for at least half hour
I store mine for an hour makes them easier to shape
spoon them onto a dry cutting board
shape them and press them like patties
makes about 8 nice size cakes
but you can make them any size you want
now you can either deep fry them till brown in a deep fryer or fry them in a pan with a light oil ...
I brown mine quick ..coat bottom of pan with light vegetable oil.... get the oil hot ..drop a small piece to test oil ..if it bubbles nice ...oil is ready
I brown mine... usually 4 at a time in a large frying pan usually takes 2 minutes a side
then I put them in the oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking them
this way they soak up less oil
then I place them on paper towel to soak up any extra oil
serve with lemon and tarter.
The box has different instructions both ways are good:)
Enjoy!
