Crab Cakes

Today we decided to make homemade crab cakes. Making crab cakes may seem like it would be difficult and require a lot of time, skills, and ingredients, but you wouldn't believe how simple these crab cakes are to cook. They are incredibly easy to make, and our family loved eating them. See our step-by-step photos below!
