Maryland Crab Cakes

 

 One such Crab Cake recipe is the real kind, with no additives or excessive seasonings, just crab flesh. 

 

Ingredients

 

3 tablespoons pancake mix

1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard

3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 pound cooked crabmeat, flaked

3 cups vegetable oil for frying

 

Inside a medium mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, mustard, mayonnaise, egg, and parsley until thoroughly combined. Incorporate the crabmeat. Form the mixture into 3 inch patties.

Inside a large skillet, heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat. There should be enough oil to cover the crab cakes halfway up the sides. Whenever the oil is heated, lay the patties in the pan with care. Fry each side until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. Turn down the heat if the patties are browning too quickly. Drain on paper towels and serve right away.
