CRAB CAKES
MUSTARD SAUCE
In a bowl combine the egg with the mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire, Tabasco, cream and chives. Pour the mixture over the crab meat and gentle mix. Try not to break the crab up too much. Bind the mixture together with the saltine cracker crumbs. Form into patties and saute in butter until the cake is lightly browned, turn over and and saute again until golden brown. Serve with the mustard sauce.
Mustard Sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together and serve.
NOTES : To make the cracker crumbs place the crackers in a plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin or use a mini processor if available. If you clarify your butter it won't burn when you saute the crab cakes.
