   Place remaining panko into a small bowl. One at a time, place the patties into the panko and press until well coated on all sides.In a pan over medium-high heat, add the canola oil. Cook crab cakes until golden brown on the underside. Flip carefully and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

   Whisk quickly and continually over low heat until the mixture is frothy and doubled in size - about 5 minutes. Keep heat low - too much heat will scramble the eggs. While continuously whisking, stream in the melted butter. Continue whisking until thickened about 5 minutes. If the sauce gets too dry add in a few teaspoons of water or beer.
