Waffled Crab Cakes
Description
This recipe blends fresh lump crab meat with panko crumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, herbs like chives and parsley, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and optional Tabasco for a hint of heat. The mixture is handled gently to preserve the crab's texture and shaped into patties around half a cup each.
Cooking the crab cakes in a preheated and oiled waffle iron creates crispy edges while keeping the center moist and flavorful. This method enhances the cakes with an even, golden crunch on all sides and cooks them efficiently. They are served hot with lemon wedges to add a fresh acidic note that complements the seafood taste.

Instructions
