Crab Cakes

I saw this recipe in Taste of Home and gave it a try. Jason raved about them! I've got to warn you that some of the ingredients may not be things that you normally keep in your fridge/cabinets, so acquiring all of them can add up. The good news is that this recipe makes 6 good size crab cakes (essentially 3 servings).
Ingredients:


-1 egg (beaten)

- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 3/4 tsp. Old Bay seasoning

- 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

- 1/8 tsp. white pepper

- 1 lb. fresh lump crab meat

- 2 Tbsp. canola oil (or cooking spray)
* large bowl
* large frying pan


Directions:

- In the large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Old Bay, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper.

- Add the crab meat.

- Shape the mix into 6 patties.

- Add oil to the frying pan and cook crab cakes for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side (or until browned). You might want to use 2 medium size pans if it seems like the cakes are too close together.


The cakes pair nicely with "No-Fry Fries" (see next blog for recipe details).
