Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
• 1 pound cooked crabmeat, flaked
• 3 tablespoons pancake mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine pancake mix, mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, and egg in a medium bowl until well blended. Fold in crabmeat. Form into 3-inch cakes.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. (There should be enough oil to reach half way up the sides of the crab cakes.) When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes in the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. If patties are browning too fast, reduce the heat. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
