Ingredients
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Be careful not to overmix to preserve the crab meat's texture.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and vegetable oil. Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Step 4
Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Use a spatula to gently flip them to avoid breaking.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 6
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
