DEVILED CRAB

One cup crab meat, picked from shells of well-boiled crabs, two tablespoons fine bread crumbs or rolled crackers, yolk two hard-boiled eggs, chopped juice of a lemon, one-half teaspoon mustard, a little cayenne pepper and salt, one cup good drawn butter. Mix one spoon crumbs with chopped crab meat, yolks, seasoning, drawn butter. Fill scallop shells—large clam shell will do—with mixture; sift crumbs over top, heat to slight brown in quick oven.
