Mama, have you actually used this recipe? Reason I ask is that's an awful lot of breading for a pound of crabmeat. Good crabcakes typically contain from 1/2 to 1 cup of breadcrumbs per pound of crab; the less the better. You want just enough filler to bind everything together and no more.

I'd also question the yeild. Recipes using one pound of crabmeat typical yeild 4-6 crabcakes. So, unless we're talking appetiser size, ten is really pushing the envelope---even with that incredible amount of filler.
