Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits with Lemon Butter

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 3

Add the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 8 rectangles or use a biscuit cutter for rounds.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the crab filling in the center of each piece, then fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges. Place the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 8

Prepare Lemon Butter:

Step 9

While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

Step 10

Once the biscuits are done, brush them with the melted butter mixture and sprinkle with parsley flakes and a little garlic powder.

Step 11

Serve warm for the best experience.
