πŸ‹ This recipe offers a savory treat perfect for gatherings or a special meal, combining rich cheese, fresh crab, and a bright butter glaze.


Ingredients

– 1 package cheddar biscuit mix

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

– 1 pound (about 450 grams) lump crab meat, fully cooked and well-drained

– 1/4 teaspoon paprika

– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

– 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise (add more if needed for consistency)

– 1 tablespoon mustard

– 1/2 sleeve crushed crackers (about 3/4 cup)

– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– Melted butter (amount per preference)

– 1 teaspoon lemon juice


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough Begin by preparing the cheddar biscuit mix following the package directions. Incorporate 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning into the dough to enhance the biscuit’s flavor base. This simple addition provides a robust, savory touch that complements the crab filling beautifully.

Step 2: Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease or spray a muffin tin to keep biscuits from sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Make the Crab Filling In a mixing bowl, combine the following:

  • 1 pound lump crab meat (drained well)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (add more if needed to reach creamy consistency)
  • 1/2 sleeve crushed crackers (around 3/4 cup)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Mix ingredients thoroughly to create a savory and texturally balanced filling.

    Step 4: Shape and Stuff the Biscuits Dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking. Take portions of the biscuit dough and either flatten them into rounds or create small cups. Place a spoonful of crab filling in each portion. Cover each with additional dough, sealing edges carefully to encase the filling and avoid leakage during baking.

    Step 5: Bake the Biscuits Arrange the stuffed biscuits in the prepared muffin tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked through. Since oven temperatures vary, keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.

    Step 6: Apply Lemon Butter Glaze Immediately after removing from the oven, brush each biscuit liberally with melted butter mixed with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. This final step adds a bright, zesty finish that complements the rich crab flavor perfectly.

    Notes

    🦐 Use fresh or well-drained crab to keep the biscuits from becoming soggy.
    πŸ§„ Incorporate garlic powder and Italian seasoning into the dough for added depth of flavor.
    ❄️ Prepare the crab filling a day ahead to let the flavors meld for a richer taste.
