Festive Friday- Grasshoppers and Crab Cakes





My brother and I are continuing having a cocktail hour every.  It gives us something to look forward to.  In addition to a fun cocktail we also do at least one appatizer. This week it was crab cakes.

I've included both recipes in today's blog

Grasshopper1 shot of Creme de Menthe
1 shot of Creme de Cocoa
Vanilla ice cream
Hershery Syrup

The amount of ice cream depends on how think you want it.  Use at least two scoops for each drink. Mix using a blender or mixer.  Top with whipped cream and fresh mint

Crab Cakes



2 cans crab meat,drained
4 Scallions chopped
1/4 cup mayo
4 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 tablespoon ground mustard
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasonings

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.  Add more bread crumbs if needed to keep the mixute from being too wet.  Form into patties.  Put some additional crumbs in a pie plate. Press each crab cake into the crumbs. Turn and coat both sides.  Chill for 60 minutes.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Brown both sides.  Put each patty on a cookie sheet in a 350 F oven.

Makes 8 patties
