CRAB STUFFED CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS with LEMON BUTTER SAUCE 🍋🦀🧀

2. Make the Biscuit Dough 🧀

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, Old Bay, and salt.
2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Add buttermilk gradually, mixing just until the dough comes together (do not overmix or the biscuits will be tough).

3. Assemble the Stuffed Biscuits ✨

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness.
3. Cut out circles (about 3 inches wide).
4. Place a spoonful of crab filling in the center of one circle, then top with another circle of dough.
5. Pinch edges tightly to seal, forming a stuffed biscuit.
6. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.

4. Bake the Biscuits 🌟

1. Arrange biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
3. While still warm, brush lightly with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley for extra flavor.

5. Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce 🍋

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
3. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and parsley.
4. Keep warm until ready to serve.

6. Serve and Enjoy 🎉

• Place warm crab-stuffed biscuits on a platter.
• Drizzle generously with lemon butter sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
• Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of Old Bay for a restaurant-style finish.

Tips & Variations

• Cheese swap: Try pepper jack or Gruyère for a twist.
• Make ahead: Fill and assemble the biscuits, then freeze unbaked. Bake straight from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes.
• Extra indulgence: Top with a sprinkle of Parmesan before baking.
• Seafood variation: Substitute crab with lobster, shrimp, or even smoked salmon.

These Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits with Lemon Butter Sauce are buttery, cheesy, zesty, and downright irresistible. One bite delivers flaky biscuit layers, a creamy crab center, and a bright lemon finish that ties everything together.
