Ingredients

1 pound lump backfin crab meat 1 teaspoon dry mustard

2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ to 1 teaspoon salt Flour for dusting
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Bacon fat (can substitute vegetable oil)

NOTE: Since the sauce is the key to giving the fresh clean taste of dill, do not substitute the brand of sauces

Steps:

In a bowl mix together the crab meat, minced onion, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, mustard, egg, and mayonnaise. Fold gently in your hand, being careful not to compress the cake too much. It should just hold together. Dust with flour and fry slowly in bacon fat or vegetable oil until golden brown. Top with Food Masters Dill Delight dressing and serve.
