Crab Cakes by Paula Dean....Yummy!!


1 pound crabmeat, picked free of shells 1/3 cup crushed crackers (recommended: Ritz) 3 green onions (green and white parts), finely chopped 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 egg 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 lemon, juiced 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt Dash cayenne pepper Flour, for dusting 1/2 cup peanut oil Favorite dipping sauce, for serving
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients, except for the flour and peanut oil. Shape into patties and dust with flour.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes, in batches, in pan and fry until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip crab cakes and fry on other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Serve warm with preferred sauce.
