Technique:
Mix first 11 ingredients together- salt and pepper to taste. Make into 8 equal patties- do not press too hard. Dip patties into egg/water mixture and then into remaining breadcrumbs and let stand. Heat oil almost to smoke point then add crab crakes- do not crowd pan. Cook over medium heat until golden brown- 3 to 4 minutes- then turn and cook until just done. Serve with Truffle Beurre Blanc around cake and garnish with lemon wedges.
