Original Recipe Yield 20 fritters
 

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  •  
  • 2 cups oil for frying
  • 1 cup hush puppy mix
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pound cooked lump crabmeat

Directions

  1. In the container of a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, garlic, and lemon juice. Process until well blended. Transfer to a bowl, stir in chives, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir together the hush puppy mix, milk and egg until smooth. Fold in the crab.
