How To Make Maryland Crab Cakes

Crab cakes are best when kept simple and light. Try this recipe for an authentic Chesapeake Bay taste.

To complete this how-to, you will need:

A mixing bowl
2 eggs
3/4 c. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 lemon
1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 tsp. seafood seasoning
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
2 tsp. baking powder
2 lb. lump crabmeat
1/2 c. panko

Step 1: Mix the wet ingredients

Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard plus juice of half the lemon.

Squeeze the lemon juice into a small bowl to remove any seeds.

Step 2: Add the dry ingredients

Add the bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, parsley, and baking powder, and stir to combine.

Use panko, or Japanese breadcrumbs, for a light, crispy texture.

Step 3: Add the crabmeat

Add the crabmeat and shape into patties.

Step 4: Cook the cakes

Broil the crab cakes for five minutes.

Step 5: Serve

Cut the remaining lemon into wedges, garnish the crab cakes, and serve.

Did you know? The Japanese spider crab can grow as wide as 13 feet.

It annoys me why people say they're first.
