Grandma Jane's Crab Cakes

In addition to Grandma Jane's Pasta Salad, she is well known for her crab cakes.  And they are delicious!

Ingredients

• 1lb backfin lump crab meat
• 1/2 green pepper, diced
• 1/4 onion, diced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 1/4 cup corn flake crumbs
• 10oz package of cracker meal
• Canola oil
• Old Bay (if desired)

Procedure

Pick through the crab meat to get rid of any shells.

 Mix all ingredients except for the cracker meal and canola oil.

Form into patties and coat with cracker meal

 

 Let the cakes sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.  The cracker meal will become damp in the refrigerator so re-coat the cakes with more cracker meal before cooking.

Pan fry the cakes in canola oil over medium heat until they are brown and heated through.

Happy Cooking!
