Calories: 93kcal
Ingredients
- 8.5 oz Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix original flavor
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 small onion grated
- ½ cup corn kernels canned, fresh, or frozen
- ½ cup lump crab meat
- oil, for frying vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. and grate ½ an onion using a box grater. It should give you about 2-3 tablespoons.
- In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and grated onion. Mix until well combined.
- Add the jiffy mix, flour, salt, and old bay seasoning and mix until well combined. Fold in the corn kernels and crab meat using a rubber spatula.
- Drop batter by tablespoons into the hot oil and fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. It's important that you don't fry them over high heat otherwise the outside will burn and the inside will be undercooked. If using a deep fryer, fry for 3-4 minutes total.
- Serve warm with lemon, remoulade sauce, or tartar sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
- Fold in the crab meat gently, you don't want to break up the crab meat.
- Fry these for 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat, NOT high heat! If you’re using a deep fryer, cook these for 3-4 minutes total.
