Crab Cakes
I finally made the crab cakes last night and they were AH-MAZ-ING! Thanks so much for the recipe!
My only problem was the homemade mayo. It didn't effect the crab cakes at all, but my mayo was runny, not creamy like real mayo. It definately had more of a liquid consistency. I think the recipe said one large egg white so I just used one serving of the egg beater egg whites which was, I believe, three tablespoons. Any idea what could have gone wrong? More or less of the egg whites maybe? |

it's funny, sometimes my mayo is thick and creamy and sometimes it is more runny. i can't figure it out either!! thats the only thing i can think of, was the 2 times is was less creamy and thick was when i use cold eggs right from the fridge...hope that helps a little :) THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR LOVELY COMMENTS :) |
