| Recipe for Crab Cakes Instructions:Remove any bits of shell and cartilage from crabmeat , being careful not to break up the lumps of crab.
Cook onions and 1/2 of the teaspoon of salt in 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet, over medium high heat, until the onion is softened. Let it cool.
Whisk together the eggs, Worcestershire sauce, remaining salt, pepper, tartar sauce, paprika, and onion mixture. Gently fold in the crabmeat and torn bread.
Note that the mixture will be very wet. Gently form the mixture into 6 cakes, each about 3½ inches across and 3/4 inches thick. Line a baking tray with a piece of wax paper just large enough to hold the cakes and sprinkle it with half of the bread crumbs.
Place the crab cakes in one layer on the top of the paper and sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs. Cover the crab cakes loosely with another sheet of wax paper and chill for 1 hour.
Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat until the foam subsides.
Cook the crab cakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
