- Stir in the mace, salt and pepper. Mix in all the crab and bring just to the boil. Stir in the cream and check the seasoning. Pour into 4 small buttered ovenproof dishes and sprinkle each with breadcrumbs and then Parmesan cheese. The dishes can wait in the refrigerator for several hours before cooking
- Dot the top of each dish with the remaining butter and stand the small dishes in 1 cm ( 1/2 inch) of water in a baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 °C / 400 °F Gas 6. The tops should be crisp and golden brown and the crab thick and creamy.
