Maryland Crab Cakes (Original Old Bay recipe!)

Maryland Crab Cakes (Original Old Bay recipe!): Date Added: 17 Apr 2015 Ingredients:

2 slices dried bread, crusts removed
milk
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon McCormick® Parsley Flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon OLD BAY® Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 pound lump crab meat

Cooking Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, cut bread into small pieces. Moisten with milk.

2. Add mayo, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, baking powder, OLD BAY, salt, egg and crab meat. Mix lightly (Be gentle so that you don't break the big crab lumps!) and shape into 4 patties. If time permits, refrigerate patties 30 minutes to help keep them together when cooking. (Better to refrigerate them for an hour! Because there isn't a lot of filler, it needs that time to set.)

3. Broil or fry until golden-brown on both sides.

(Cook's Note: This is the original recipe that appeared on the back of the OLD BAY® can and it's a keeper! Baking powder makes the crab cakes light and fluffy, while OLD BAY Seasoning is just something we do in Maryland!)
