Crab Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb lump crabmeat, flaked (fresh, frozen or canned and drained)
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 tablespoon margarine, melted
    1 large eggs, beaten or 1/4 cup egg substitute
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 pinch cayenne pepper
    2 dashes hot pepper sauce
    3/4 cup soft breadcrumbs or 1 1/2 pieces white bread, finely crumbled
    1 small lemon, cut in wedges
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    Prepare a cookie sheet with nonstick pan spray.
    In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, mustard, margarine, egg, lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and pepper sauce.
    Add 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs; mix well.
    If time permits, chill for an hour or more.
    Shape the crab mixture into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick (use about 1/2 cup mixture for each).
    Pat the remaining bread crumbs on all surfaces of the crab cakes; place the cakes on the prepared cookie sheet.
    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning the cakes midway through the cooking time.
