Cooking Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crab Mix:

    • In a bowl, gently combine fresh lump crabmeat, egg, Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of flour.
    • Cover the mixture and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
  2. Shape and Chill:

    • Form the crab mixture into 4 hamburger-shaped patties.
    • Line a plate with plastic wrap, place the crab cakes on it, cover with more plastic wrap, and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes (or up to 1 day). Alternatively, you can opt to freeze them for a quick 15-minute chill.
  3. Dredge and Pan-Prepare:

    • Put the remaining flour for dredging in a bowl.
    • In a 12-inch skillet, combine extra virgin olive oil and butter, heating over medium heat.
    • Once the butter melts and its foam subsides, gently dredge a crab cake in flour, tapping off excess, and add it to the pan. Repeat with the remaining crab cakes.
    • Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, rotating the cakes in the pan as necessary to brown the first side, which should take around 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. Flip and Sizzle:

    • Flip the crab cakes and brown the other side; this step usually takes slightly less time than the first.
    • Serve the crab cakes hot, accompanied by inviting lemon wedges.

Cook’s Tips:

  • For an extra burst of freshness, consider squeezing a bit of lemon juice over the crab cakes before serving.
  • These Crabby Crab Cakes are versatile; pair them with a crisp salad, a zesty dipping sauce, or simply enjoy them on their own for a seafood feast!
