List of Ingredients




1/2 cup soft fresh bread crumbs
1 large egg
About 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 scallions, trimmed, the white bulbs and light green stems minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus 1 tablespoon bland vegetable oil, such as safflower, for frying

Recipe




In a medium-size bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, egg, 4 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, the scallions, parsley, and the seasonings. Add the crabmeat and mix gently. If the mixture is too dry, add the remaining 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. (Add additional mayonnaise if the mixture will not hold together and is still dry.) Shape the mixture into 6 patties.

Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and lightly smoking, add the crab cakes and cook until golden, about 5 minutes on each side.
