Ingredients:
For the Cheddar Bay Biscuits:
2 cups biscuit mix (like Bisquick)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
For the Crab Filling:
1 cup lump crab meat
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Lemon Butter Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped parsley
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the crab filling: In a medium bowl, gently mix lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. Make the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Assemble the biscuits: Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each piece, spoon crab filling into the center, and fold the dough around the filling to seal.
5. Bake: Place stuffed biscuits on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Make the lemon butter sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add lemon juice, minced garlic, and parsley. Stir until fragrant.
