2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire or dash of Tabasco
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 lb. cooked crab, flaked or broken up
1 c. fresh bread crumbs or 1/2 c. unsalted cracker crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Flour for dredging

Mix the parsley, dry mustard, Worcestershire or Tabasco, eggs and mayonnaise together. Add the crab and crumbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simple taste it and go from there!

Divide the mixture into 8 cakes and dredge in flour. These can be deep-fried at 375 to 380 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown.

Or you may pan-fry them on both sides in a bit of butter. I prefer the butter- fried cakes.

Serves 4.
