Cook them up in batches and keep them warm in a 200 degree oven on an ovenproof platter filled with Rock Salt and heated beforehand. The best thing about that is that you can bake it as directed in the recipe and then take it to the table and the crabcakes will stay hot because the rock salt holds heat very well. To save money halve this recipe and or use claw crabmeat.
