Make-You-Wanna-Holler Maryland Crab Cake
List of Ingredients
Make-You-Wanna-Holler Maryland Crab Cakes from Patti LaBelle
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over to remove cartilage
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
Seasoned salt and freshly ground pepper
Lemon wedges
Recipe
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the
onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a
medium bowl.
Add the crabmeat and sprinkle bread crumbs. Pour the egg and hot pepper
sauce on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using your hands, gently
mix, being careful not to break up the crabmeat any more than necessary. Form
the mixture into 6 patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place on a wax
paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour (this
helps the crab cakes hold together).
Position the rack about 6 inches from the source of heat and preheat the broiler.
Lightly grease the broiler pan. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2
tablespoons of the butter. Place the crab cakes in the broiler pan and brush the
tops with the melted butter.
Broil the crab cakes until the tops are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn and
continue broiling until the other side is golden brown, about 4 more minutes.
Serve hot with the lemon wedges.
