Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuit with a Lemon Butter Sauce
Ingredients:
For the Cheddar Bay Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¾ cup cold buttermilk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and divided
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Crab Stuffing:
8 oz lump crab meat, drained and picked over for shells
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Lemon Butter Sauce:
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Make the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour in the buttermilk and ¼ cup of melted butter. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Prepare the Crab Stuffing:
In a separate bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, green onion, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix until well incorporated.
Assemble the Stuffed Biscuits:
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of biscuit dough and flatten slightly in your hand. Add about 1 tablespoon of crab stuffing to the center and top with another small piece of dough. Seal the edges and gently form into a biscuit shape. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all dough and stuffing is used.
Brush the tops with a bit of melted butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Lemon Butter Sauce:
While the biscuits bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice, zest, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Serve:
Drizzle warm lemon butter sauce over the hot stuffed biscuits. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
