Maryland Crab Cakes Recipe for Your Preakness Party

If you're planning a Preakness Stakes Party, you have to serve crab cakes! Here's a fabulous recipe.

Ingredients:
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tbl Old Bay seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 lb. crab meat, shell and cartilage removed

1. Mix bread crumbs, mustard, Old Bay and salt together and set aside.
2. In another bowl, combine egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently fold in bread crumb mixture. Add crab meat and shape into individual cakes. Place them on a platter or cookie sheet. You should end up with about 6 or 7 cakes.
3. Refrigerate for at least two hours, so they won't break apart when cooked.
4. To cook the crab cakes, you can either put them under the broiler or saute in oil. It takes about 3-5 minutes to brown each side. To keep warm, place on cookie sheet in a 200 degree oven until you're ready to eat them. 

Serves 4-6
