Don't know what the cream is for. You mix one pound crab meat. 2 dozen saltines. tablespoon worchestire sauce. One table spoon mustard. One tablespoon mayonnaise. One egg. Crush crackers and mix together. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side. You will want to use this recipe. Paula has to add butter and cream why?

Sounds like you are just preparing crab cakes. These are rolled into little balls and fried. There needs to be more moisture in order to hold shape and not dry out and fall apart while frying because of their small size.

Hi Paula. I want to use your crab ball recipe as an appitizer for a dinner I'm hosting for the elderly members of our congregation. The problem is, I don't know where I can get your seasonings in Baton Rouge. Please let me know how I can get these. I always watch your shows and have used a lot of your recipes. I just hosted a housewarming for my daughter and almost all the appitizers and desserts were your recipes. They were all a big hit. Can't wait until I have the opportunity to eat at one of your restaurants. Much Love
