For the best flavor, use high-quality lump crabmeat. Avoid imitation crabmeat, as it will not yield the same results. Panko bread crumbs provide a lighter, crispier texture than regular bread crumbs. If you don't have panko on hand, you can substitute with finely crushed Ritz crackers. Be gentle when mixing the ingredients to prevent the crab cakes from becoming tough. To prevent the crab cakes from sticking to the skillet, make sure the skillet is properly heated and the butter is melted before adding the crab cakes. The crab cakes can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking. Be sure to cover them tightly to prevent them from drying out. For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, to the crab cake mixture. Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a slight kick.
