Not So Pretty Crab Cakes...

Well, I tried. I don't know how people make pretty crab cakes. There must be a trick I don't know about. Or, I could chalk it up to how much I dislike the Ravens, so since this was the "Ravens" recipe for the week...I could leave it at that. (And no, I won't go off on a tangent on how much I am not and never will be a Baltimore fan....bleck!)

Back to the recipe...I gathered the ingredients I would use to put together a crab cake. Apparently, I missed the true "glue" of the cake. I think I needed to use more mayo or another egg...but whatever it was I missed it. Or, I mixed the ingredients together in the wrong matter...I'm not sure. Next time I might mix my dry ingredients first and the other ingredients together in another bowl. Then, combine. However, they tasted very good, had a GREAT "bite" to them, but they didn't stay together as a "cake."

burnt and falling apart...BUT tasty!

Well, here is my crab cake recipe...feel free to give me any tips you have for improvement!!!
