Step 1

Combine egg yolk with mayonnaise, seasoning, cayenne pepper, and mustard in a bowl, and whisk thoroughly. Then add the crab meat and salt to taste. Combine the mixture till it’s even.

Step 2

Spread crushed cornflakes over a baking pan. Make ten equal patties from the crab meat mixture and form patties with them. Then, pat the patties over the crushed flakes till they’re fully coated.

Step 3

Transfer the patties to a baking pan lined with plastic wrap. Cover the pan with some plastic wrap, and place the tray in the fridge. Leave it to chill for about 3-4 hours.

Step 4

Set the oven to 400F and while you wait, move the chilled patties to an oiled baking sheet. Add half a teaspoon of butter on top of each cake.

Step 5

Toss the sheet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown.
