Melt the butter in a large iron skillet or stainless steel pan. Heat the skillet/pan to a medium high heat. With your hands, form four even sized crab cakes and place them in the pan. Press them down slightly with a spatula so they resemble a thick disk.Step 3

Yummy! Would cut the seasoning in half (1 T vs 2T) and also add a little mustard.

Delicious!

Very good! Easy to make! Based on others’ feedback, I increased the almond so it wouldn’t be as wet. Next time, I’ll omit the salt and/or cut down on the Old Bay seasoning as it was too salty for my taste.

Is the full recipe one serving?
josie0695 2 years ago
2 servings at 2 crab cakes per serving = 4 cakes. 8 oz of crab meat divided among 4 cakes = approx 2 oz per cake, or 4 oz per serving. 🙂

2 servings as one recipe makes 4 cakes and 2 cakes is one serving.

I’m trying to figure that out too. I’d you use 8 oz of crab how many servings does it make!

Excellent! Quick and easy to make. Pairs great with keto tartar sauce recipe. I increased the almond flour to get a thicker consistency. 😋

You could try coconut flour but I would use less of it

Fresh BC Dungeness crab, was delicious, definitely 5 star. Stuffed after 1, used the juice of a lemon with a salad and slice of fresh keto bread.

This Marylander approves! I doubled the recipe, and broiled them instead of fried them. I also added a bit of psyllium fiber to absorb some of the liquid. I seved it with some keto ketchup.

Can u freeze these
recipewriter 4 years ago
Yes! It would be best to freeze the cakes before cooking them, but you may freeze them after cooking as well.

Outstanding! It was easy and very satisfying!

Delicious. I simply pour the whole galoop into the hot pan, flatten with a spatula, then partition into wedges as they cook. Add a 1:1 mix of mayo and hot sauce for a bit of zazzy topping! Also, coconut flour would likely work as it’s such a small amount, although it will slightly increase the carb count. I’d add an extra egg and go light on flour.

I was a bit nervous as they’re super wet before you cook them, but they stayed together and were delicious! I made a little dip with sour cream, lemon juice, and more dill weed to go with it (more fat!) and it was great. I made it to taste, but used two tablespoons of sour cream.
