ingredients
1 pound crab meat, jumbo, lump or back-fin
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 small onion, grated
1/2 tablespoon dry mustard
18 Ritz crackers, crumbled
directions
Combine all ingredients except the crackers. Add crackers crumbs in as close to sauteing as possible so that they crab cakes don't get too moist from the other ingredients. Form into patties the size of hamburger patties.
Saute in frying pan over medium-to-high heat in butter, 10 minutes per side. Make sure that it's crispy outside but moist and juicy inside.
A simple tartar sauce to accompany the crab cakes can be made by mixing mayonnaise, grated onion and lemon juice.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This recipe is great but as a beginner I found my crabcakes, while delicious, looked nothing like the picture. We got no sense of the Ritz crackers, in taste or consistency. We loved these but I would love to know what I did wrong.
This recipe was (pretty) good, but I made some changes, b/c of my experience working at my dad's seafood restaurant by the shore in CT. First of all, we always add finely diced celery, and also some celery leaves (for flavor). We never use Worchester Sauce, nor do we use any type of mustard. We use "Old Bay" seasoning and celery salt, instead of regular salt. We also add in a 'tiny sprikle' of garlic powder...since it adds flavor (but you'll never even know it's in there). We sautee the cakes in 'real' butter, and serve them on a bakery fresh Poppy Seed Bun over Boston Lettuce, with our house made Tarter Sauce and 2 sides: Cole Slaw & Fries (regular or Sweet Potato Fries.) What's most important, is to always use good quality ingredients, in order to deliver a good quality dish.
So, in other words, you didn't actually make *this* recipe.

I love this recipe. I have been using it for about ten years now, so long that I almost call it my own. :) I hesitate before rating how expensive...that depends on if you buy the crab at retail or catch it in your neighborhood. I'm very lucky and live at the beach. hope you enjoy as much as I have/am. I like to serve it with a garlic aioli, or if its a special occasion, hollandaise. any way you want, they are sooo good!!

I made this recipe once and now it is a request for my daughter's birthday. She thinks these are the best crab cakes.
