Maryland Crab Cakes

I have lived in Maryland for 45 years,and I have found that nothing ,except the Washington Redskins, creates as much controversy as someones opinion on the right way to make a crabcake.Two things must be included; Maryland blue crab and Old Bay seasoning. As for the rest,I believe that the bread included must be minimal and that Dijon mustard must be the mustard of choice.Below is my recipe.

Ingredients:

2 slices of white bread,crusts removed
1/8 cup milk
1 pound Maryland blue crab meat
1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon Hellman's Real Mayonnaise
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:

Break bread into small pieces and moisten with milk
Add the rest of the ingredients ,except for olive oil ,and mix thoroughly
Take mixture and form 8 patties
Heat oil in fry pan until hot but not smoking
Fry each crab cake about 45 seconds a side,or until light brown in color
Remove from pan and serve

Serves 4
