1 lb crab meat (preferably blackfin)

1 Tbsp margarine or butter

1 Tbsp flour

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp instant minced onion

1-1/2 tsp Worchestershire sauce

2 slices white bread, crusts removed and cubed

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 Tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp margarine or butter

few dashes of pepper

paprika, for sprinkling

Remove all cartilage from crab meat. In medium-size pan, melt 1 Tbsp

margarine; mix in flour. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly to

keep mixture smooth and free from lumps. Cook, stirring, over medium

heat until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Mix in onion,

Worcestershire Sauce, and bread cubes. Cool. Fold in mayonnaise,

lemon juice, salt, and pepper. In another pan, heat 2 Tbsp butter

or margarine until lightly browned. Add crab meat and toss lightly. Combine with sauce mixture. Put mixture into individual

shells or ramekins (or greased 1 quart casserole). Sprinkle paprika

over top. Bake at 450 degrees until hot and bubbly and lightly

browned on top - about 10-15 minutes. Makes four servings
