Instructions:

Cube Wonder Bread: Begin by cubing the slices of Wonder Bread into small pieces. Set aside for later use.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, beaten egg, diced green pepper, minced garlic clove, mayonnaise, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.
-
Adjust Consistency: Depending on the texture of the mixture, you may need to adjust it. If it’s too loose, add more cubed bread. If it’s too dry, incorporate additional mayonnaise until you achieve the desired consistency.
-
Shape Patties: Form the mixture into evenly sized patties, ensuring they hold together well.
-
Prepare Dredge: In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour with Old Bay Seasoning, creating a seasoned flour mixture.
-
Coat Patties: Gently dredge each crab cake in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they’re evenly coated on all sides.
-
Pan Fry: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve: Once the crab cakes are cooked through and golden brown, transfer them to a serving platter. Serve hot with a side of Remoulade Sauce for dipping. These crab cakes pair perfectly with cole slaw and fries for a satisfying meal.
