Simple Crab Cakes

Here's what you'll need to make these delicious crab cakes:

1 egg (well beaten)
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
1 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon old bay seafood seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound claw crabmeat (drained, flaked)
1 1/2 cups pork rind crumbs
vegetable oil

In a large bowl, blend together the egg, butter, mayonnaise, prepared mustard, parsley, dry mustard, old bay seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Add the crab meat and shape into 8 patties. Roll the patties in the pork rind crumbs.

In a deep saucepan over high heat, add a generous amount cooking oil. When the oil is hot, drop the crabcakes in the oil until they are golden brown. (If you have access to a deep fryer, cook the patties at 350 degrees. They will float the top when done.)

Drain the excess oil onto paper towels. Serve hot.
