Steps:
- Prepare the crab cakes: Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse crumbs; spread out the crumbs on a sheet pan. In a large bowl, mix the crab, mayonnaise, egg yolk, celery and pickles. Form into 8 oval-shaped cakes. Dredge each crab cake in the breadcrumbs, coating them all over; place on a plate and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Make the sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in the flour, curry powder and paprika; cook until the flour and spices lose their raw smell, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and mustard seeds; simmer to develop the flavors, about 5 more minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Fry the crab cakes: Melt the 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add the crab cakes; cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until evenly browned on all sides. Serve with the mustard sauce.

CRAB CAKES WITH GRAINY MUSTARD AND SCALLION SAUCES
Because they are made with egg yolks instead of breadcrumbs and are baked rather than fried, these cakes have an especially distinct crab taste. Chef Edward Brown, of Sea Grill in New York City, enhances that flavor wonderfully by serving the cakes alongside two spicy sauces.

- Add some fresh herbs or spices to your sauce. This will give it a more complex flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the sauce. Overcooked sauce will be thick and gloopy. You want your sauce to be creamy and smooth.
- Serve the sauce warm. This will help to bring out the flavors of the mustard and other ingredients.
