Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place crab meat in a medium bowl. Sprinkle masa flour over and toss to coat evenly. This will add flavor and enable the other ingredients to bind the cakes together better.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

Form into 8 cakes, 2 per person. Dust lightly with additional masa flour, corn starch or flour.

Heat olive or vegetable oil in an oven-safe medium-hot skillet. Add crab cakes and brown evenly on both sides. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes.
