Directions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper; stir to mix.
Lightly whisk buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture, blend until smooth.
Add green onions and crab; mix well.
In a small mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff.
Gently fold egg whites into batter.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly brush skillet with oil.
Drop tablespoons of batter into skillet.
Cook until the sides of the pancakes take on a dryish look.
Flip over, cook the other side until lightly browned.
Keep pancakes warm in a 200-degree oven.
To serve, top pancakes with sour cream and caviar, if desired.
Note: You can prepare pancakes a day ahead of time, and refrigerate, covered, until serving time.
Then reheat them in a 325-degree oven or microwave oven until heated through.
