A light and fluffy crab cakes straight from the Old Bay. Whip this up in 30 minutes with just a few simple ingredients you can find in your pantry. A packed and delicious crab cakes that you can serve alongside anything. Excellent addition to your weekly menu that your whole family will love. Such pretty golden brown cakes that you can easily and quickly make at any time and any day. My mom used to make these when I was young and I remembered asking her how did she manage to make such pretty cakes. When I was old enough, she taught me this and gave me her recipe. Her recipe contains a baking powder which makes these crab cakes airy light and super fluffy. Which is amazing and what I prefer. My family’s number one favorite – simple, not fussy, and tastes amazing! If you are feeling a little boring, spice this up by adding chili flakes like what I do most of the time.

Step 3: Lightly combine and form into 4 pieces of patties.
Step 4: Place inside the fridge for at least 30 minutes to ensure that the patties stay in pieces when cooking.
