Lumpy & Delicious Crab Cakes
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup of Mayonnaise
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon Mustard
- 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 pound of Crab Meat (Get the good stuff, trust me, it's worth it)
- 3/4 cup of Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice (Fresh is best!)
- 1 tablespoon of Lemon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder + Onion Powder (Because why not?)
- 1/2 teaspoon of Butter Seasoning (Yum!)
- 1/2 teaspoon of Red Chili Flakes (A little kick never hurt anybody)
Let's get cooking:
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a big ol' bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. This is your base, so make sure it's mixed well.
Add the Crab: Gently fold in the crab meat. Be careful not to break up those tasty lumps too much. We want the cakes to have some nice texture.
Dry Ingredients: Toss in the panko bread crumbs, lemon juice, lemon pepper, garlic and onion powder, butter seasoning, and red chili flakes. Mix it all gently. It's like a little flavor party.
Forming the Cakes: Once it's all mixed, shape the mixture into cakes. The size is up to you, but I like them not too big, not too small - you know, just right.
Cooking Time: Fry them in a pan over medium heat with a bit of oil. Cook each side until it's golden brown. You're aiming for crispy on the outside, tender and lumpy on the inside.
That's it! Serve these golden beauties with a wedge of lemon or your favorite dipping sauce. They're great on their own or with a light salad on the side. Enjoy your homemade Lumpy & Delicious Crab Cakes!
