Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes

Ingredients:

2 lb. jumbo lump crab meat
2 oz. fresh bread crumbs
1 egg
1 Tbs.Dijon mustard
1/2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper


Directions:

Remove any shell from the crab meat. Mix crab and crumbs thoroughly.
In separate bowl, mix the egg, mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then add to the crab-bread crumb mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Form into round cakes and place in refrigerator until ready to use. The mixture should make eight 4 oz. crab cakes.
Lightly flour both sides of the crab cakes and place in a hot, oiled sauce pan. Cook over high heat until browned on 1 side, 5-6 minutes. Turn the cakes over and place them in a preheated oven (4OO) until cooked thoroughly, about 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven. Place crab cakes on a plate and top with lightly browned butter and lemon.
