GRAMMY'S CRAB CAKES

Grammy's Crab Cakes image

Enjoy these simple and savory crab cake taste sensations. I learned to make these from my beloved mother-in-law, but Grammy never uses a recipe. I measured every pinch and dash while she made them. This is one of our all-time family favorites. There are never any leftovers. Crab cakes are best if made with fresh crab, but they are great with canned crab as well.
