Clam Cake Ingredients

Method

Clam Cake Preparation

1

Prepare the batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

2

Mix in wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

3

Add clams and parsley

Fold in the chopped clams and parsley into the batter until evenly distributed.

4

Heat the oil

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the clam cakes

Drop spoonfuls of the clam batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6

Drain and serve

Remove the clam cakes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
