• 1 lb lump crabmeat
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (you may need to use a little more)
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/2 tablespoon old bay seasoning
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, crushed saltines (energ gluten free breadcrumbs also work well)

Recipe

• 1 mix together all ingredients but the crab.
• 2 if the mixture seems a little dry, add more cream. you want cakes that are moist but firm enough to hold cakes together.
• 3 fold in crab meat, making sure mixture is well-combined, but being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
• 4 store in fridge for 1/2 hour or so.
• 5 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).
