Check crab for shells. Leave meat in large lumps. Melt 1 Tbsp. butter; stir
in flour. Gradually stir in cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly,
until smooth and thick. Remove from heat. Add soft bread crumbs, green

bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Put a large spoonful of crab mixture on the
crumbs, sprinkle dry crumbs on top, and shape into a cake. Do not pack.
Repeat, making 8 cakes in all. Heat 2 Tbsps butter in a large heavy
skillet, and saute cakes lightly, adding more butter as needed. Carefully
remove from skillet with a broad spatula to individual hot plates. Makes 8
cakes (4 servings). Recipe from Gramma/Helen Jolly wwgq25d. Lynn Thomas'
notes: Made this 32897. Used finely chopped red and green peppers and
sauted the peppers and onions before adding to the crab. A wonderful recipe
that's easy to make and tastes delicious!
