Description
Fluffy, cheesy biscuits stuffed with savory crab meat and paired with a zesty lemon butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese.
- Add the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and parsley in another bowl and gently fold it together.
- Turn the biscuit dough out onto a floured surface and pat it down to about 1-inch thick. Cut out rounds with a biscuit cutter.
- Place half of the round biscuits on a baking sheet. Add a spoonful of the crab mixture on top of each.
- Top with the remaining biscuit rounds and seal the edges gently.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the dough; it should be slightly lumpy. Ensure butter is cold for fluffier biscuits.
