Drain crabmeat of all excess liquid and place in a stainless bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients with a wire whip. Pour over crabmeat mixture.
Mix GENTLY to combine all ingredients.

Divide evenly into 6 portions and form into balls.
Flatten slightly to 1” thick – do not make perfectly flat, because cake should have grooves.

Place portioned crab cakes on a non-stick cookie sheet, slightly oiled with clarified butter.
Place in a preheated 450-degree oven and bake approx. 5 minutes on first side.
Turn crab cake over using a metal spatula.
Finish cooking—approx. 4 minutes.
