Step 4: Add Cheddar
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s evenly distributed.
Step 5: Incorporate Buttermilk
- Pour in the buttermilk gradually, stirring gently until the dough just comes together.
- Avoid overmixing, as this can make biscuits tough.
Step 6: Fold in Crab
- Carefully fold in the crab meat, being gentle to avoid breaking it up too much.
Step 7: Shape Biscuits
- Lightly flour your hands and form the dough into small balls, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
Step 8: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 9: Make Lemon Butter
- While the biscuits bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix until smooth and fragrant.
Step 10: Glaze Biscuits
- When the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the warm lemon butter generously over each one.
Step 11: Serve
- Serve immediately while warm.
- For presentation, you can sprinkle a little extra cheddar or parsley on top for color.
Tips for Perfect Biscuits
- Cold butter is key: It helps create the flaky layers that make biscuits irresistible.
- Gentle folding: Overworking the crab or dough can make them dense.
- Extra flavor: Sprinkle a pinch of Old Bay or paprika on top before baking for a golden finish.
- Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days; reheat in the oven to maintain flakiness.
