List of Ingredients






ROBERT DUVALL'S MOTHER'S CRAB CAKES

1 lb. crab meat, jumbo, lump or back-fin*
2 heaping T. mayonnaise
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 small onion, grated
1/2 T. mustard powder
18 Ritz crackers, crumbled

* The jumbo is best for large patties, but not good for tiny ones. The back-fin is good for both.







Recipe



Combine all ingredients except the crackers. Add crackers crumbs in as close to sautéing as possible so that they crab cakes don't get too moist from the other ingredients. Form into patties the size of hamburger patties or hors d'ouvre-size, depending on how they will be served.

Sauté in frying pan over medium-to-high heat in butter, 10 minutes per side. Make sure that it's crispy outside but moist and juicy inside.
