These classic crab cakes are a snap to make and only take 12 minutes to cook. A combination of Dijon mustard, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder adds bold flavors to the sweet crab meat. Butter, panko, and mayonnaise work as flavorful binders to hold all the delicious fillings together. We serve our crab cakes with a simple Dijonnaise. Add a simple side salad and a crisp glass of white wine to complete the meal.
