Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Creole mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons curry powder, divided
  • 1 cup just-add-water cornbread mix
  • 1/4 cup bottled clam juice
  • 12 ounces fresh lump crabmeat, diced
  • 1 cup finely chopped green onions, divided
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Method

  • Stir mustard, honey, and 1 1/4 teaspoons curry powder in small bowl for dipping sauce.
  • Stir cornbread mix, clam juice, and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder in medium bowl. Mix in crabmeat and 3/4 cup onions.
  • Pour enough oil into medium saucepan to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Attach deep-fry thermometer to side of pan and heat oil over medium heat to 320°F to 330°F.
