Ingredients

  • Divided into six portions, a generous amount of butter sets the stage, accompanied by the finely chopped essence of a petite onion. Delicate pretzel crumbs dance in a quarter cup measure, intermingling with the zesty notes of garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. A can of succulent crabmeat, weighing six ounces, joins the ensemble, while a single jumbo egg awaits its turn in this culinary masterpiece.

Step 1

Begin by warming up 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the butter sizzle as you sauté the onion until it becomes tender, which should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, set it aside to cool down a bit.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the satisfying crunch of crushed pretzels with the aromatic flavors of garlic powder, paprika, and a hint of pepper. To this mix, add the delicate crabmeat and a whisked egg, followed by the cooled sautéed onions. Gently blend everything together until well combined, then shape the mixture into charming palm-sized patties.

Step 3

Next, melt the remaining butter in a pan over medium-high heat, allowing it to bubble and froth slightly. Carefully place the patties in the pan and cook them until they turn a lovely golden brown hue on each side, this usually takes about 4 minutes per side. Once the patties are perfectly cooked, serve them up for a delightful meal. Enjoy!
