Ingredients
Scale
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Fresh Ingredients:
- 1 pound lump crab meat, fully cooked
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ + cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mustard
- ½ sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- For the Lemon Butter Glaze:
- Melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Mix: Start by making the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to the package directions. Once prepared, set it aside to rest while you prepare the crab filling.
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray two muffin tins with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Crab Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat with paprika, onion powder, mustard, mayonnaise, and crushed Ritz crackers. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Adjust the consistency with additional mayonnaise if needed.
- Form the Biscuit Cups: Dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking. Using a scoop, take some biscuit mix and form it into a cup shape in your hand. Place a scoop of the prepared crab mixture into the center of the biscuit cup.
- Encapsulate the Filling: Cover the crab filling with a little more biscuit dough, sealing the edges to encase the filling completely. Repeat this process until all the dough and crab filling have been used.
- Bake: Carefully place each filled biscuit into the prepared muffin trays. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Finishing Touch: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the lemon butter glaze by mixing melted butter with lemon juice. Once the biscuits are done, brush them generously with the lemon butter glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm for the ultimate indulgence.
