 Directions: 

 - If you are using fresh crab meat, remove any shells or cartilage and flake it with a fork. If you are using canned crab meat, drain it well and flake it with a fork.

 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly.
