How To Make new england crab cakes

  • 1
    In a medium bowl, combine crabmeat, egg, mayo, green onions, milk, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay Seasoning. Mix the ingredients before adding ½ cup of panko; stir until completely incorporated. Divide crab mixture into 6 equal parts and form patties. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.

    A few hours later, place the remaining panko in a shallow bowl or plate. Remove the patties from the fridge and coat each of them in bread crumbs; transfer to a plate.
  • 3
    In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and clarified butter. When hot but not smoking, place crab cakes and cook for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. When cooked, transfer them on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any excess grease.
