1 lb. crabmeat
1 egg
3 tbsp. bread crumbs
2 tsp. Old Bay spice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. lemon juice
Butter and vegetable oil

Pick over crabmeat to remove any bits of shell. Combine crabmeat lightly with remaining ingredients until blended. Shape into 6 cakes about 1 inch thick. Saute quickly in half butter and half oil in frying pan, turning to brown both sides. Or cakes can be baked at 450 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
