  • 1 tablespoon horseradish mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

In a bowl, combine crab meat, eggs, mayonnaise, horseradish mustard, chopped parsley, salt, pepper and hot-pepper sauce. Mix lightly. Separate and form into 12 to 16 small cakes; do not pack firmly. Roll crackers into fine crumbs. Pat the cracker crumbs lightly onto the crab cakes. Heat oil to a depth of about 1/4 inch in a large skillet, or heat the oil in a deep fryer. Fry crab cakes until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper toweling. Serves 6.
