Enough vegetable oil for deep frying  
Combine all ingredients except crab, crab meat, and vegetable oil to make a batter. Stir one tablespoon  
of vegetable oil into the batter. Fill crab crevices where innards were removed with crab meat and  
press the crab meat firmly into the crevice to secure. Holding each stuffed crab with tongs, dip into  
batter. Then place into the deep fryer filled with very hot vegetable oil. Completely cover the crab and  
fry individually for seven minutes or until golden.
