I think maybe I didn't measure out the seasoning properly. They were just kind of boring as far as flavor, not bad, but not great either. What's your recipe? I'd like to try it.
I can't for the life of me find it; I'm pretty sure it was on my old phone (that I lost while on Honeymoon in Italy), hence why I can't find it and haven't made it since then lol.
This one though is the closest I could find (spent the last 30 minutes online trying to find a similar recipe):

I don't use milk or egg whites, I use Sour Cream (about 1-2 tablespoons per pound of crabmeat, depending on how much is absorbed after mixing for a bit, as sometimes the crab meat is more watery than not and the breadcrumbs) and tone down the amount of breadcrumbs (I use regular{plain} and panko, sometimes no panko). Otherwise, this is pretty close (I put in a bit more green onion and parsley; their flavor combined with the crabmeat is on point).
Don't know it's the sour cream, but I've made them 5 times and they've never been dry. My wife has been bugging me for literally almost a year now to make them again lol, so I think I will sometime soon
When I make them next, I'll snap a pic and share how they turned out! :)
