AUTHENTIC EASTERN SHORE MARYLAND CRAB CAKES
Living in Talbot County, MD for 25 years, I have sampled many an Eastern Shore crab cake. I would say the defining qualities are lump crab meat, very little filling, and Old Bay. No veggies! I have tried many recipes, but I finally gave up and asked my friend, the owner of a relative's cookbook from the 1800s, for her recipe. I had to do a couple of favors to get it, so I am saving it here so I don't lose it. The recipe doubles just fine.

Steps:
- 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).
