a pinch of ground mace
a pinch of white pepper

a small handful of chopped parsley
1 egg, beaten

Method
Simply mix everything together, with the exception of the flour and oil, and season with salt. Shape into 8 patties about 2.5cm thick. Chill for 15 minutes to firm them up.
Dust in flour to coat. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the crab cakes for 5–6 minutes or until both sides are lightly browned and crisp and they are warmed through.
