I love crabmeat any way it's served, especially in these crab cakes. If you don't have time to dash to the store, substitute 2 teaspoons of dried basil for the fresh. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I will use less chili powder next time.
