Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuit With A Lemon Butter Sauce:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese followed by the milk until just combined.
3. Prepare the Crab Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and Old Bay seasoning. Gently fold the crab mixture until combined without breaking up the crab pieces.
4. Form the Biscuits: Using your hands, take a handful of the biscuit dough and flatten it into a small circle. Spoon a generous portion of the crab filling into the center. Carefully fold the dough over and seal the edges. Place the stuffed biscuit seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
5. Bake and Make the Sauce: Bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.
