450 grams fresh crab meat, carefully picked over for shells
1/2 cup of finely ground breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup creamy mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of a classic Maryland spice mix
1/4 teaspoon of crushed chili pepper for a hint of heat
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder to add a zing
Instructions for Making Crab Cakes
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, Maryland spice mix, chili pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Gently fold in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Carefully incorporate the crab meat, mixing gently to maintain the texture of the crab.
Shape the mixture into patties, forming either six large or nine medium cakes, depending on preference.
In a lightly oiled skillet, fry each cake over medium heat for approximately five minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve these delightful crab cakes with a side of tartar sauce and lemon wedges for a refreshing touch.
