Cakes For Dinner

No, not like normal cakes. Crab cakes! I had mentioned crab cakes and seafood one night to Leslie and for some reason she just couldn't stop craving them. So we decided to try something new and make them! This is our sixth recipe and is found here at Allrecipes.

The Recipe

Best Ever Crab Cakes

1 Egg

3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise

4 Teaspoons Lemon Juice

1 Pinch Red Pepper Flakes

1 Teaspoon Dried Tarragon

1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic

1 Pinch Salt & Pepper

8 Ounces Lump Crab Meat

1/2 Cup Crushed Buttery Round Crackers

1 Tablespoon Butter

Mix together all but the crab meat, crackers, and butter. Gently sir in the crab meat, trying to keep from breaking it up. Gradually mix in the cracker crumbs to reach the desired consistency - soft, yet able to form into loose patties. Heat the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat and cook the cakes in the pan until golden, about 5 mins per side.

End Results and Final Thoughts

These were delicious! Had I known that it would be this easy to make wonderful crab cakes I would have done this all the time. We enjoyed these immensely and were glad that we made a double batch. I really recommend this recipe. It's nice and easy, but produces great results. These will definitely be resurfacing again as we make dinners.
