Classic Old Bay Crab Cakes

 

You just don't mess with perfection.  I've tried every prepared crab cake available, and every mix found on grocery store shelves.  Nothing compares to classic Old Bay Crab Cakes.  This is simply the best!  

2 slices dried bread, crusts removed

Small amount of milk

1 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 Tbsp Parsley flakes (I use fresh)

1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg, beaten

1 lb lump crabmeat

Break bread into small pieces in a large bowl.  Moisten with milk.  Add mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce and mix well.  Add remaining ingredients and mix lightly.  Shape into four patties.

Refrigerate patties for 30 minutes.  This will help keep them together when cooking.  

Broil or fry until golden-brown on both sides.  

Serve with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
