Ingredients
Scale
- For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- For the Crab Filling:
- 8 oz lump crab meat, picked over for shells
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Lemon Butter Sauce:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine Bisquick, milk, cheddar cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and Old Bay. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- In a separate bowl, mix together crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Divide the biscuit dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc. Place a spoonful of crab filling in the center of each disc. Fold the dough around the filling and seal edges to form a ball.
- Place the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- While biscuits bake, make the lemon butter sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
- Serve warm biscuits drizzled with lemon butter sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, brush the baked biscuits with additional melted butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley. If crab meat is not available, imitation crab can be used. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
