My mom is a newbie at scanning but she's doing a good job lately. Though
the other day she scanned a pattern for me but the title had "crab
recipe" in it so I said she had to send me the crab recipe. I SO have
to make these. A girl I grew up with has a seafood store (I just found
this out this summer) so I will have to go get some lump crab meat from
there.

Melt butter. Blend in flour and add milk to make white sauce. Mix all
ingredients including white sauce. Shape into cakes. Roll in flour and
then in bread crumbs. Fry in vegetable shortening until light brown on
both sides.

will fry in olive oil unless someone thinks that's going to ruin the
taste. I could use canola oil. Maybe with some butter in it.
