This was my first time making - or even eating - crab cakes. I used 6 oz. of canned crab (Blasphemous, I know. But it's what I had.) and made 1/4 of the recipe, using a whole egg. I seasoned the mixture to taste with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper. Because the mixture had more egg and was probably a little looser than it should have been, I made six smaller patties. I was worried they were going to stick or fall apart, but they didn't. Overall, it was good and easier than I expected for not knowing what I was doing. Thank you!

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me.
If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
