Authentic Eastern Shore Maryland Crab Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb lump crabmeat
2 tablespoons heavy cream (you may need to use a little more)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, crushed saltines (EnerG gluten free breadcrumbs also work well)
1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Mix together all ingredients BUT the crab.
If the mixture seems a little dry, add more cream. You want cakes that are moist but firm enough to hold cakes together.
Fold in crab meat, making sure mixture is well-combined, but being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
Store in fridge for 1/2 hour or so.
Broil until first side is brown, then flip and do the same. (Some people like to pan fry or even deep fry. Just cook until browned).
