Anytime appetizer I got you covered if you hit the Subscribe button and the notifications Bell I’ll make sure you never miss an episode Start by putting one cup of mayo into a medium sized mixing bowl because the proportions of the ingredients in this mix you’ll actually have enough for two batches next go ahead and add two teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce now add one tablespoon of yellow mustard next go ahead and add one raw egg

One tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and one tablespoon of Old Bay without which it could not be called a Maryland style crab cake wish together thoroughly do your best to remove all the excess liquid from the crab meat next transfer the crab to a large mixing bowl and add parsley and breadcrumbs

You have enough crab mix for two batches of crab cakes start by adding about a quarter cup of the crab mix to the crab meat you’re going to want to add just enough crab mix to make the crab cakes stay together without it being too wet

I ended up using a half a cup of crab mix the actual amount of crab mix you use will depend upon the amount of moisture left in the meat and the amount of breadcrumbs you actually use in the crab cake itself roll the crab meat around in your hand

To get it into the right shape if you’re anticipating some silly joke about crab balls I’m way too mature for that oh who am I kidding no I’m not anyway preheat the oven to about 400 and then put your balls in for about 12 minutes ouch

I ended up getting about 12 mini crab cakes out of a pound of crab meat these turned out to be so good that I’ve been if you put your nose close enough to the screen you’ll be able to smell them these are great as hors d’oeuvres or sliders
