Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 c Cornflakes
1/2 c Mayonnaise
2 tb Dijon mustard
2 ts Old Bay seasoning
1/8 ts Cayenne
2 lg Egg yolks
2 lb Jumbo lump crab meat,
Picked over
1/2 Stick (1/4 cup) unsalted
Butter, softened

In a food procesor pulse cornflakes until ground
coarse, and spread in a shallow baking pan. In a large
bowl whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay
seasoning, cayenne and yolks, and then add crabmeat,
salt and pepper to taste, tossing mixture gently but
thoroughly. With a 1/4-cup measure form a crab mixture
into slightly flattened rounds about 2 1/2 inches wide
and 3/4-inch thick and gently coat crab cakes with
cornflakes, transferring as coated to a
wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Chill crab cakes,
covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to
4 hours. Preheat oven to 400F. Transfer crab cakes to
a large baking sheet. Put about 1/2 teaspoon butter on
each crab cake and bake in middle of oven until crisp
and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve crab cakes
with tartar sauce. Makes about 20 crab cakes.
