Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen clams, minced
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup ice water
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the clams, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter and ice water until completely combined. Pour the butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together. Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes before breaking it into 8 equal-sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten into patties about 2-inches in diameter. Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to fry, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Working in batches, carefully add the clam cakes to the pan and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Carefully remove the cakes from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you finish frying the rest.
