2 eggs
4 tbsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/6 tsp. black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Mix crab meat, butter, seasoning, and enough of the egg to mold into small flat cakes. Beat a little water into the remaining egg and wet the cakes with this mixture, then roll them in the crumbs. Saute until rich brown in a heavy frying pan or deep fry at about 380-400 degrees. Serves 6.
