--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5      cups          cornflakes
     1/2  cup           mayonnaise
   2      tablespoons   Dijon mustard
   2      teaspoons     old bay seasoning
     1/8  teaspoon      cayenne pepper
   2      large         egg yolks
   2      pounds        jumbo lump crab meat
     1/4  cup           unsalted butter -- softened

Preparation:

In a food processor, pulse cornflakes until ground coarse and spread in a shallow baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne and yolks and add crab meat and salt and pepper to taste, tossing mixture gently but thoroughly. With a 1/4 cup measure, form crab mixture into slightly flattened rounds about 2 1/2 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick and gently coat crab cakes with cornflakes, transferring as coated to a wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Chill crab cakes, covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours. Preheat oven to 400F. Transfer crab cakes to a large baking sheet. Put about 1/2 teaspoon butter on each crab cake and bake in the middle of the oven until crisp and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve with tartar sauce.
