    • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
    • ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
    • 🧅 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Combine beaten egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, seafood seasoning, and hot pepper sauce in a large bowl. Stir in green onion and set aside.

3

Place crabmeat in a medium bowl and break up with a fork. Add milk, salt, and black pepper; toss to coat. Add saltine crackers and baking powder; toss lightly to combine. Add to egg mixture, stirring gently and being careful not to break apart crab lumps.

4

Scoop crab with a 1/3-cup measure and form into 8 patties. Place patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 8 hours.

5

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

6

Spray crab cakes on both sides with cooking spray and place in the air fryer basket.

7

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Turn crab cakes over gently and continue cooking until crispy brown, about 5 minutes more.
