Form into fat round cakes. You can do this by hand but I like using my cooking rings for this purpose.

I bought these on Curtis Stone's website. They come with this tamper to tap down the mixture into a compact patty.

Nice! Refrigerate these for 1 hour.

Brown them in 3 T. of butter mixed with 3 T. oil over medium heat.

Drain on paper towels.

I like to serve them over a simple salad with a
vinaigrette dressing. I drizzle them with a cucumber dill sauce and sprinkle them with capers. Squeeze a wedge of lemon over them just before eating.

First of all, thanks so much for leaving comments on my blog. That certainly makes blogging extra special! :)
I should now better than to come to your blog shortly before dinner time. Now I am hungry for crab cakes!!! ;)
Are you interested in winning a white cotton T-shirt with a pink heart and the words I ♥ Oktoberfest in size L? Then come over to my blog until Sunday, 22nd January, and leave a comment here . It's way cool that you have been to Munich. Next time you come over here, you definitely have to let me know.
What about having a look at my Advent and Christmas and getting an impression of Munich's Christmas market ? Moreover, you can see some frosty weather photos and pictures from a walk around my neighborhood on January 1st. Finally, there are photos of New Year's Eve . Of course, comments are welcome -- it's always great to hear what you think!
Have a wonderful 2012,
your blog friend from Munich, Germany,
Birgit
Have a great day!
Christer.
I love crab!
