Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients BUT the crab.
• If the mixture seems a little dry, add more cream. You want cakes that are moist but firm enough to hold cakes together.
• Fold in crab meat, making sure mixture is well-combined, but being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
• Store in fridge for 1/2 hour or so.
• Broil until first side is brown, then flip and do the same. (Some people like to pan fry or even deep fry. Just cook until browned).

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat 6 large scallop shellswith nonstick cooking spray or, if you prefer, lightly coat a 6-cup au gratin pan or shallow casserole; set aside. Place the crab in a medium-size mixing bowl and set aside also.
• 2. Tear the bread into small chunks, letting them drop into a mini food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Using 3 to 4 brisk pulses, reduce to moderately coarse crumbs. Drizzle the melted butter over all and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate. The crumbs should now be moderately fine. Tip onto a piece of wax paper and reserve.
• 3. Add the parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne to the processor (no need to wash the bowl or blade), and pulse briskly 3 to 5 times until the parsley is coarsely chopped.
• 4. Add the mayonnaise and mustard and churn until smooth, about 5 seconds. Scoop on top of the crab and toss lightly to mix.
• 5. Mound the crab mixture in the scallop shells or spread evenly in the augratin dish, and scatter the buttered crumbs on top.
• 6. Bake uncovered on the middle oven rack until bubbling and touched with brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• 7. Serve at once, accompanying with a tartly dressed salad of greens. Roasted asparagus spears also make a delicious accompaniment.

• Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook crab cakes, turning once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes total.
• Serve with:
• french fries and/or baby greens tossed with lemon vinaigrette.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the butter, the eggs, the sour cream, the parsley, the lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, the paprika, the salt, and the cayenne and stir in the crab meat and the bread crumbs gently. Form 1/2-cup measures of the mixture into twelve 3/4-inch-thick cakes and transfer the crab cakes as they are formed to a baking sheet sprinkled with half the cornmeal. Sprinkle the crab cakes with the remaining cornmeal and chill them, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the crab cakes in batches, turning them once, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are cooked to paper towels to drain. Keep the crab cakes warm on another baking sheet in a 200°F. oven. Serve the crab cakes with the tarragon tartar sauce and the lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Pick over the crab to remove any tough pieces of shell or cartilage. Leave the crab meat in as large lumps as possible. Put the crab meat in a mixing bowl.
• Put the cornflakes in the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend to make the flakes as fine as possible.
• Blend the mustard, egg, salt, pepper, mayonnaise and parsley. Spoon and scrape this over the crab. Sprinkle with the crumbs and blend gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into six portions of equal size.
• Lay out six squares or rectangles of plastic wrap, one at a time on a flat surface. Put one portion of crab mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the plastic wrap over to neatly and compactly enclose the crab mixture. Flatten each portion to make six crab cakes, each about an inch thick or slightly less. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat the oil in a skillet to a depth of about half an inch. If necessary, add more oil. Heat to a temperature of 350 degrees. It may be best to cook the crab cakes in two batches.

Steps:

• Place the crabmeat in a mixing bowl. Pick it with a fork and check to see that all the cartilage is removed. Add the egg, mayonnaise and mustard. Toss lightly together, using the fork so as not to shred the crabmeat too much.
• Add the seafood seasoning, parsley, minced onion, bread crumbs and grated lemon zest. Toss together lightly.
• Melt the butter over medium-high heat. Scoop up enough crab mixture to make a plump pattie about five inches in diameter. Place the crabcakes in the skillet and fry for three minutes or until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom. Flip the crabcakes over and continue to fry on the other side for another three or four minutes.
• Serve the crab cakes on soft hamburger buns or simply with a spoonful of tartar sauce.
