Makes 6 large patties [or 12 small ones].
Ingredients:
3 green onions, minced
3 Tablespoons butter or margarine [I use unsalted butter]
2 Tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 pound crabmeat [I use lump]
20 saltine crackers, crumbled [I put them in a freezer bag and crush them with my rolling pin]
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 dashes Tabasco
Cracker meal or bread crumbs for dredging
Butter and vegetable oil for frying
Boiled crab claws for garnish (optional) [I usually use twisted lemon slices and fresh parsley]
Directions:
Sauté onions in butter or margarine. Alternate adding flour and milk, stirring constantly to make a medium-thick white sauce. Remove from heat and add crabmeat, cracker crumbs, egg, salt, cayenne pepper and Tabasco. Gently mix together and set aside to cool thoroughly. Shape into 6 patties [12 if serving as an appetizer] and dredge in cracker meal or bread crumbs. [I chill them for at least an hour at this point, as it helps keep them from breaking apart when cooking.]
Put about 1/2-inch of equal parts vegetable oil and butter in a skillet and fry patties on both sides until they are golden brown.
