If you're looking for a scrumptious way to get a party started, bring out a tray of these cheesy crab puffs. They bake up golden brown and taste wonderful right out of the oven. Try serving them with soup instead of bread or crackers.

Wow! Where did I go wrong? The batter was as thin as pancake batter. These never did puff up like the photo. Is this supposed to use self-rising flour or baking soda/powder? In frustration I poured the batter into a pie pan and baked it. It turned out somewhat like a quiche. It does have a wonderful flavor.
