Southern Crab Cakes
  • 1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 carrot, scraped and grated
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
Combine first 11 ingredients; stir well. Shape into six patties (mixture will be slightly loose). Cover and chill mixture 1 hour. Combine 1 egg and water, beat well. Dip patties in egg mixture, then dredge in 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Saute crab cakes in butter, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serves 6.
With their golden exterior and a creamy interior, it's easy to see why these cakes are so popular in the south.
