The Steps to Making Breading
Making the perfect crab breading is a simple process that can be executed quickly and easily in a food processor. The first step is to mix together some dry ingredients, including self-rising flour, cornstarch, and salt. Then add in wet ingredients, including eggs, milk, and melted butter. Finally, stir everything together until well combined.
To make the crab breading coating, start by mixing together some flour, salt, and pepper. Then add in beaten eggs and milk until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. Next, melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Once melted, slowly pour the melted butter into the flour mixture until it is completely coated.
Next, set up your food processor or blender and pulse the mixture until it comes together into large clumps. It should be slightly lumpy but not too coarse or course. Finally, use your hands to form the crab breading into small balls and place them on a plate covered in paper towel to cool down before using them in your recipes.
How to Make the Perfect Dungeness crab Breading
There are as many ways to make perfect Dungeness Crab Breading as there are crabbers. Here is one method that we like to use.
1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crabmeat in butter until it is browned, about 8 minutes per side. Drain the crabmeat on paper towels and set aside.
3. Add the reserved egg mixture to the skillet and stir well to combine. Add the crabmeat and continue stirring until everything is evenly coated with the batter.
4. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (the center should be slightly pink). Serve immediately hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
