Crab cakes from Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African-American Cooking (page 46) by Toni Tipton-Martin

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute cracker crumbs for dried breadcrumbs.

    Nice. Flavorful. We fried some and baked some and both were great.

    Serviceable crab cakes, not the best I’ve made. I followed the recipe exactly except for the shaping and cooking method. Instead of making 16 crab balls and “pan-fried” in an inch of oil, I made 6 crab cakes and cooked them in the air fryer at 360F for 10 min without flipping. Served with cocktail sauce from Stir instead of tartar sauce.

    Great flavor. These are fried. The crab gets a little chewier than with a pan sauté. Would go with a sauce other than tartar sauce.
