Combine all crab cake ingredients except the milk and oil in a mixing bowl. Gradually add milk a little bit at a time. You may need a little less or more to adhere the ingredients into a thick, cohesive mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Form into patties about 2 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. Coat with additional bread crumbs.
