All Saints Summer Supper Maryland Crab Cakes, I grew up in southern Maryland, and attended All Saints Episcopal Church, where my parents are still members Every summer (1st weekend in August) the church hosts its Summer Supper fundraiser, which I consider a southern Maryland tradition, since folks come from all over to eat some great food (ham, fried chicken, green beans, fresh homemade bread, rolls, and desserts, and, oh yeah CRABCAKES! This is an adaptation of the recipe used at the supper, so that the yield is something reasonable for a family dinner (as opposed to the hundreds of crabcakes made by the fine folks at All Saints!) Of course, I have added my own touches over the years, but it’s still pure Maryland Crabcake , Never made Crab Cakes, ever Since I just became the queen of great Baba Ganoosh and Hummus, world wind weekend, I came back to try your crabcake Perfect, so easy and definitely to serve to a hungry crowd who appreciates a tradition I insist you post more recipes , I grew up in southern Maryland, and attended All Saints Episcopal Church, where my parents are still members Every summer (1st weekend in August) the church hosts its Summer Supper fundraiser, which I consider a southern Maryland tradition, since folks come from all over to eat some great food (ham, fried chicken, green beans, fresh homemade bread, rolls, and desserts, and, oh yeah CRABCAKES!

Mix All Ingredients Except the Breadcrumbs. You Can Beat the Egg Before Adding, but I Scramble It a Bit in the Bowl Then Use My Hands to Get a Consistent Mix. |

Add the Breadcrumbs a Bit at a Time. the Goal Is to Have Just Enough to Bind the Mix Into Patties, but not Too Much! |

Gently Form the Mixture Into Patties, About 31/2 Inches in Diameter, and 3/4 Inch Thick. Note That You Can Make Them Smaller, If They Are Appetizers. at This Stage, You Can Refrigerate Them; Doing So Allows a Little Bit of Flavor Blending to Occur (a Good Thing). |
