| Divide the mixture into 6 and form into rounds of about 2 cm thick (see Chef's notes below).
| Put some [[Flour|flour]] on a plate, pour the [[Egg|egg]] onto another plate and the [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]] onto a third plate.
| Dust the [[Crab|crab]] [[Cakes|cakes]] firstly in [[Flour|flour]], then coat in the beaten [[Egg|egg]] and finally in the [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]].
| Leave to rest in the [[Freezer|freezer]] for an hour or so.

}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Tomato sauce|tomato sauce]] and/or [[Salad|salad]].
===Chef's notes===
The consistency of the [[Crab|crab]] [[Cakes|cakes]] should be fairly firm, which is why the [[Bread|bread]] quantity is not specific. You need to get the mixture so that you can easily shape them without them falling apart.
