List of Ingredients
1/4 c. mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 T. smooth Dijon mustard
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
3 dashes Tabasco
1/2 t. white pepper
1/4 c. flat-leaf parsley, chopped fine
2 lbs. lump crabmeat (Maine or Maryland Blue)
2/3 c. panko (Japanese) or Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, plus additional for breading
2 T. vegetable oil
2 T. butter
Recipe
Mix the mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, spices, Tabasco and parsley together. Fold in the crab gently. Add the 2/3 c. breadcrumbs in stages, so that the mixture remains moist.
Divide into 8 large (5-inch) cakes or 40 small ``cocktail'' cakes and arrange on a sheet pan covered with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with additional crumbs, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
When ready to serve, heat the oil and butter in a nonstick skillet. Pan-fry the cakes until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a preheated 350-degree oven for 4-5 minutes. Serve immediately. Makes 8 appetizer servings or 4 entree servings.
