Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 225 g white crab meat
- 225 g brown crab meat
- Breadcrumbs from 3 or more thick slices of stale wholemeal bread, crusts removed.
- 2 heaped tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 heaped teaspoons hot English mustard or 2 teaspoons of mustard powder, mixed with a little water.

- 12 rounded tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 50 g butter
Method
- Mix the crab, wholemeal breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and English mustard thoroughly in a bowl.

- Put some flour on a plate, pour the egg onto another plate and the breadcrumbs onto a third plate.
- Dust the crab cakes firstly in flour, then coat in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Leave to rest in the freezer for an hour or so.
- Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan to a medium heat and cook the crab cakes for about 4 minutes on each side.
Serving suggestions
Serve with tomato sauce and/or salad.
Chef's notes
The consistency of the crab cakes should be fairly firm, which is why the bread quantity is not specific. You need to get the mixture so that you can easily shape them without them falling apart.
