Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
2 cups Bisquick mix
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
For the Crab Filling:
1 cup fresh or canned crab meat (picked through for shells)
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/2 tsp lemon zest
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Lemon Butter Sauce:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
Step 2: Make the Biscuits
In a large bowl, mix together the Bisquick mix, shredded cheddar, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix).
Step 3: Prepare the Crab Filling
In a medium bowl, mix the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Biscuits
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of biscuit dough and flatten it slightly in your palm.
Add a teaspoon of crab filling to the center, then top with another small piece of dough, pressing the edges to seal.
Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Make the Lemon Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat until just warmed.
Step 7: Serve
Brush the warm biscuits with the lemon butter sauce before serving. Garnish with extra green onions or parsley for a fresh touch.
Tips:
For an extra cheesy twist, sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top before baking.
Use lump crab meat for the best texture and flavor.
Serve with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
Enjoy these savory, decadent biscuits that are sure to impress!
