Baltimore-Style Crab Cakes

This quintessential Baltimore crab cake recipe comes courtesy of chef Andrew Zimmern. With minimal filler ingredients, these shine with pure crab flavor.

Ingreadient :
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 large egg, beaten
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
    • 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
    • 20 saltine crackers, finely crushed
    • 1/4 cup canola oil
    • Lemon wedges, for serving
Direction :
    1. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce until smooth.
    2. In a medium bowl, lightly toss the crabmeat with the cracker crumbs. Gently fold in the mayonnaise mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
    3. Scoop the crab mixture into eight 1/3-cup mounds; lightly pack into 8 patties, about 1 1/2 inches thick. In a large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook over moderately high heat until deeply golden and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
