Perfect Crab Cakes With Green Onions
USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson
"Perfect Crab Cakes -- heavy on crab and light on filler -- anchor a dinner. Be sure to form them compactly so the cakes hold together during frying."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Mix egg, mayonnaise, green onions, Old Bay and hot sauce in a small bowl until mayo is completely incorporated, then set aside.
- Lightly break up crabmeat in a medium bowl. Add milk; toss gently to coat. Add crushed saltines; toss gently to combine. Add egg mixture; gently toss, once again, to combine. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop up a portion of crab, forming the mixture into a very compact cake. Repeat to make 8 cakes (can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 8 hours ahead).
- About 10 minutes before serving, heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Carefully add crab cakes; sautee turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

The BEST crab cakes! I rolled the crabcakes lightly in panko bread crumbs before frying which added a nice crunch.

The ingredients, and proportions of them, are spot on accurate for classic, traditional crab cakes...you want good quality crab meat and lots of it, and just enough egg, crumbs and mayo to bind ...

This recipe is awesome! It is the first time I have had crabcakes and did not need any dipping sauce with it. I did make a couple of modifications: I used 12 ozs. of imitation crab instead of re...

My rating did not match my husband and son at all. They loved. If it was up to me, I would not make again, but for them, I will. I added a little more Old Bay and kept everything else as writ...

These were pretty good, a little bland though. Next time I will try to tweak this recipe a bit, to give it a little more spice.
