    5       c            Cornflakes
      1/2   c            Mayonnaise
    2       tb           Dijon mustard
    2       ts           Old Bay seasoning
      1/8   ts           Cayenne
    2       lg           Egg yolks
    2       lb           Jumbo lump crab meat,
                         Picked over
      1/2                Stick (1/4 cup) unsalted
                         Butter, softened
 
   In a food procesor pulse cornflakes until ground
   coarse, and spread in a shallow baking pan. In a large
   bowl whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay
   seasoning, cayenne and yolks, and then add crabmeat,
   salt and pepper to taste, tossing mixture gently but
   thoroughly. With a 1/4-cup measure form a crab mixture
   into slightly flattened rounds about 2 1/2 inches wide
   and 3/4-inch thick and gently coat crab cakes with
   cornflakes, transferring as coated to a
   wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Chill crab cakes,
   covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to
   4 hours. Preheat oven to 400F. Transfer crab cakes to
   a large baking sheet. Put about 1/2 teaspoon butter on
   each crab cake and bake in middle of oven until crisp
   and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve crab cakes
   with tartar sauce. Makes about 20 crab cakes.
