2 c. crab meat
4 tbsp. butter, melted
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
Bread crumbs, unseasoned
Butter for sauteing

Mix crab meat, melted butter, seasoning and a little egg. Form small flat cakes. Beat 1 tablespoon into remaining egg; dip cakes into the egg mixture and pat in crumbs to form solid flat cakes. Cakes may be chilled, covered, until ready to cook or saute immediately. Saute in melted butter until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side. 8 large or 10 to 12 small cakes.
