Dungeness Crab Fritters with Roasted Pepper Remoulade

By Chef Jeremy McLachlan

Here is my fan-freakin’-tastic fritter recipe. These are also called Beignets (pronounced ben-yeh). I love it and I want you to try it. I have also included my Remoulade Sauce, which takes mayonnaise to a whole new level.

Crab Fritters

Makes 12 Large fritters

1 cup Wondra flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp chopped fresh thyme
¼ tsp dry English mustard
1 egg
½ cup half and half or milk
1 cup or 8 oz of crab meat
Frying oil

1. Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
2. Mix all the wet ingredients thoroughly.
3. Combine the ingredients and spoon dollops into a 350?F fryer.

Chef’s Tip: Poke the fritters with a toothpick to see if they are done. If it comes out clean, then they are.
