Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Combine beaten egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, seafood seasoning, and hot pepper sauce in a large bowl. Stir in green onion and set aside.
- Place crabmeat in a medium bowl and break up with a fork. Add milk, salt, and black pepper; toss to coat. Add saltine crackers and baking powder; toss lightly to combine. Add to egg mixture, stirring gently and being careful not to break apart crab lumps.
- Scoop crab with a 1/3-cup measure and form into 8 patties. Place patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 8 hours.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
