Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits with Lemon Butter
Form the Biscuit Cups: Dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking. Using a scoop, take some biscuit mix and form it into a cup shape in your hand. Place a scoop of the prepared crab mixture into the center of the biscuit cup.
Encase with Biscuit Dough: Cover the crab filling with a little more biscuit dough, sealing the edges to encase the filling completely. Repeat this process until all the dough and crab filling have been used.
Bake: Carefully place each filled biscuit into the prepared muffin trays. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Add the Finishing Touch: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the lemon butter glaze by mixing melted butter with lemon juice. Once the biscuits are done, brush them generously with the lemon butter glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm for the ultimate indulgence.
Serving Tips:
Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle chopped parsley or dill over the Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits just before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
Pair with a Side Salad: Serve these decadent biscuits alongside a crisp green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to balance out the richness of the dish.
Serve with Dipping Sauces: Offer dipping sauces such as garlic aioli, tartar sauce, or sweet chili sauce on the side for an extra layer of flavor and variety.
Create a Platter: Arrange the biscuits on a serving platter with lemon wedges and additional melted butter for guests to customize their experience.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. Can I use fresh crab meat instead of lump crab meat for this recipe? While lump crab meat is preferred for its texture and flavor, you can certainly use fresh crab meat if that’s what you have available. Just make sure to pick through the meat to remove any shells or cartilage before incorporating it into the filling. Keep in mind that the texture and taste may vary slightly compared to using lump crab meat.
