Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

5 saltine crackers, crushed to fine crumbs
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
1 large egg
2 1/2 tablespoons Homemade Mayonnaise, or prepared
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons peanut oil
Horseradish Tartar Sauce

Steps:

In a large bowl, gently mix together cracker crumbs, crabmeat, egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. The mixture will be wet. Form about 1/4 of the crab mixture for each cake.
Heat peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Gently slide the cakes off a spatula into the oil. Saute until the crab cakes are golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet, and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with tartar sauce.
