Muffin-Tin Crab Cakes

 

This recipe, Muffin-Tin Crab Cakes, we’ve taken the frying and fuss out of crab cakes by shaping and baking them in muffin tins.  For the best taste, look for pasteurized crabmeat in the refrigerator case at your market’s fish counter, a better choice than canned varieties.  Try these cakes with tangy tartar sauce and coleslaw.
