Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
1/2 teaspoon bottled horseradish
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup saltine, finely crushed
12 ounces fresh crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl mix together mayonnaise, both mustards, a generous dash of hot sauce, horseradish, and the egg.
  • Gently stir in the saltines and crabmeat.
  • You may form the crabcakes immediately, however allowing the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour will make the shaping easier.
  • Divide the mixture into 4-6 large crabcakes, and place on a lightly oiled or nonstick baking sheet. (Or make to your desired size - I use a 1/4 cup measure - and adjust your cooking time appropriately ).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes , or until a light golden brown.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Variation:.
  • Baltimore Crab Cakes: Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and Old Bay Seasoning to taste.
