Avocado and Crab Pan Waffles

For a
fast and fabulous brunch, try Avocado and Crab Pan Waffles. Food writer Silvana Franco makes
these in a griddle pan, so you don’t need a waffle iron. If your avocados are a little on the hard side, pop them in
a fruit bowl with a banana: the gases released by the banana will help them to
ripen faster. For a special weekend brunch, pair this with a Pink Screwdriver –
the creaminess of the avocado will
work well with the cocktail’s tart flavour and zingy lime and chilli salt rim.Time and servings
