OK. Great idea. Not greatly executed. Mixed in ALL the bread crumbs (instead of saving some for the pan). Ditto the oil. Made for crab cakes that had no need of the roll. Better as left overs with lemon juice and cocktail sauce as condiments. Would try again as I do like crab. Next time I will follow the directions. :)
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 3/4 cups fine dry bread crumbs, divided
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split and toasted
Accompaniments: tartar sauce; iceberg lettuce
preparation
Stir together crabmeat, mayonnaise, scallions, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup bread crumbs in a bowl until just combined. Form into 4 (1-inch-thick) patties (3 1/2 inches in diameter; patties will be soft but will firm up when fried). Spread remaining cup bread crumbs on a plate, then dredge patties in crumbs, knocking off excess, and transfer to a platter.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then fry patties, turning over once, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Assemble burgers with buns and accompaniments.
Cooks' note:
Patties can be formed, without bread-crumb coating, 12 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Dredge in bread crumbs just before frying.
