HHI Crabcake recipe - Lost my copy!

[goofygal531]

I cannot find my copy of a recipe for Crabcakes! While at HHI, I attended a cooking class and the chef made crabcakes and gave out the recipe. They are delicious! Made with Ritz Crackers.

Has anyone attended this class? Would you be kind enough to post the recipe. It's short. I just need the items. I remember the procedure.

Please! I'm craving them!

Thank you so much in advance!

Don't have the specific recipe but found this on Allrecipes.com

1 pound fresh crab meat
1 egg
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces Ritz crackers, crushed
1 quart vegetable oil for frying


Directions

1 In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine crabmeat, egg, mayonnaise, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
2 In a large skillet, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to a high heat. Roll heaping spoonfuls on the crab mixture in the crackers, then place the ball in the hot oil. Flatten lightly with a spatula so that the crab cake is 1/2 inch thick. Fry the crab cakes, flipping to ensure both sides get browned.

Thanks anyway. I did that too. But I'm still searching for THAT HHI one. It was awesome.

It was a recipe that a woman gave to the chef from Defuskee (sp) Island. It was an old family recipe. He had to beg her for it!

It was simply the best crab cakes I've ever had!!

Someone has to have it!!

have you tried contacting chef gordon at HH? (I think that's the name I keep hearing here on the boards?) Everyone here has raved about the crab cakes served at the dinners he prepares (private dining affair) Would love a copy of this one too!!

Good luck!

When you enjoy "A Private Affair" at HH with Gordon, he provides recipes for your menu. My DW Liz has saved them in a file!

Here is the recipe for Daufuskie Island Crab Cakes:

1 lb Crab Meat
2-3 Ribs celery
1 small onion
1 medium green pepper
1 sleeve Ritz brand crackers
1 C. melted butter
Texas Pete hot sauce
Old Bay seasoning
Paul Prudhommes Seafood Magic

Pick shells from the crab. Fine dice all of the vegatables and saute in butter until cooked. Mix the crab neat with the vegetables and cool.

Grind the crackers in your hand amd mix with the crab mixture. Add hot sauce, Old Bay and Paul Prudhomme's to taste.

When cool enough to handle, shape into patties and saute until golden brown (if mixture is too loose to shape, refrigerate for 5 minutes).

Enjoy!

Gordon will cheerfully provide recipes with his cooking programs...and he offers several at the resort. :)

Webmasterdoc I cannot thank you enough!!!! That was his name Gordon! I just couldn't remember.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Oh, and thank your wife too!!!

Doc
Is that 1 cup of butter ????
Wow. How can you eat those after your by-pass. Maybe that was a misprint.

[WebmasterDoc]

How can you eat those after your by-pass.


I ate these before the heart attack! Maybe that's the explanation my Dr. has been looking for!! ;) ...but they sure were good!

(The butter is used to saute the mix- it's not in each crab cake!)

Could someone who's made this suggest some amount for the 3 seasonings at the end. I guess it's supposed to be "to taste", but if someone could give me a rough idea, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

We go to OKW every March & HH every Aug. Before our March trip, I read some great threads about Chef Gordon & told DH that when we got back from OKW, I was going to work on "A Private Affair" for Aug. Reading about these crab cakes is just the incentive I need to start.

[Geyser Gazer]

mmm.
I just might make these tonight.
I often substitute peanut oil for butter when frying. Much healthier and almost as good.

Being from the middle of Kansas, I've been unable to find 'Paul Prudhommes Seafood Magic', can someone please describe the herbs in it so I can try and find something similar. I made the crabcakes last nite without it, but I would really like to use all the ingredients to see what difference it makes. My dh loved the crab cakes, but I still want to try and make them without leaving anything out. Thanks for any input on what might be good substitute.
