New England Crab Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb crabmeat, drained and shells picked
    1 large egg, beaten
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
    1 tablespoon milk
    1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
    1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
    1 cup panko breadcrumbs, divided
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 tablespoons clarified butter
    6 lemon wedges, for serving
Preparation
    In a medium bowl, combine crabmeat, egg, mayo, green onions, milk, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay Seasoning. Mix the ingredients before adding 1/2 cup of panko; stir until completely incorporated. Divide crab mixture into 6 equal parts and form patties. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.
    A few hours later, place the remaining panko in a shallow bowl or plate. Remove the patties from the fridge and coat each of them in bread crumbs; transfer to a plate.
    In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and clarified butter. When hot but not smoking, place crab cakes and cook for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. When cooked, transfer them on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any excess grease.
    Serve crab cakes with remoulade sauce and a couple lemon wedges. Makes 6 cakes.
