Crab Pillows

Crab Pillows


1. In a bowl, beat together egg white, water, and sherry until foamy. Stir in cornstarch, salt, ginger, and coriander. Squeeze crab lightly to eliminate any moisture, then stir into egg white mixture.

2. Remove crusts from bread: cut each slice in 4 squares (or get fancy and use cookie cutters for different shapes). Mound about 2 teasppons of crab mixture on each square, pressing it firmly to bread and rounding the courners. If made ahead, arrange a single layer in a baking pan, cover, and chill up to 8 hours.

3. In a deep pan (at least 6 inches in diameter), pour sald oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches and heat to 350 degrees F. on a deep frying thermometer. Fry 4 squares at a time, crab side down, until the edges begin to brown (about 30 seconds).

4. Turn over and fry for 10 seconds longer; remove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
