Ingredients

1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix

1 tsp garlic

1 tsp Italian seasoning

For the Crab Filling:

1 pound lump crab meat, fully cooked

¼ tsp paprika

½ tsp onion powder

½ cup mayonnaise (plus more if needed)

1 tbsp mustard

½ sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

1 cup grated Parmesan

For the Topping:

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Follow the package instructions to prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  3. Make the Crab Filling: In a bowl, combine lump crab meat, paprika, onion powder, mustard, mayonnaise, and crushed Ritz crackers. Stir well, adding more mayonnaise if needed for consistency.
  4. Shape the Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands. Take a scoop of biscuit dough, flatten it into a cup shape, and add a spoonful of crab mixture in the center. Cover with more biscuit dough and seal the edges.
  5. Bake: Place each stuffed biscuit into the muffin tin and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Prepare Lemon Butter: While baking, mix melted butter with lemon juice.
  7. Finish & Serve: Brush the warm biscuits with lemon butter and serve immediately.

Notes

Spicy Option: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the crab filling.

Extra Cheese: Stir in shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack into the filling.

Herby Flavor: Add fresh parsley or chives for a fresh twist.

Creamier Filling: Mix in cream cheese for a richer texture.
