BALTIMORE-STYLE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Finely crush the saltine crackers in your hands and place in a large bowl. Add the crabmeat, reserving any crab juice in a separate small bowl.
• To the bowl with the crab juice, add the mayonnaise egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce; whisk until smooth. Season with black pepper.
• Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crab and saltines. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Scoop the crab mixture into six patties, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Be careful not to handle the mixture too much.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook until deeply golden and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

BALTIMORE CRAB PRETZEL STICKS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• For the crab dip: In a large bowl, combine crabmeat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, zest and salt, pepper and Old Bay seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. For the pretzels: Preheat oven to 450F. Divide pizza dough into 8 portions, then roll each portion into a thick rope. Brush each one with beaten egg, then bake for 10 minutes until just about golden brown. Do not bake completely or your pretzels will be too hard. Remove pretzels from the oven and allow to cool completely. Layer each pretzel with a thick layer of crab salad, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese, pressing in to adhere. Preheat broiler to high and return pretzels to the oven about 6 inches from the flame. Broil until cheese is bubbly and golden-brown. Remove from oven, garnish with chives and serve while hot.
