This is one of those old time recipes that you see in the South in Junior League or Ladies Clubs Cookbooks.  I love Louisiana Crab Puffscrab puffs, they are great made small as appetizers and cocktail bites or made large as a luncheon entree.  

We served them as a lunch special with my creamy remoulade sauce.  They are really good.
