Equipment
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 whisk
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 hand mixer or fork
- 1 cooking spoon
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, diced
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup crab meat, cooked and shredded
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined.
- Cut the cold diced butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk and fresh parsley until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the crab filling by mixing together the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Using a spoon, scoop out a portion of the biscuit dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a teaspoon of the crab filling in the center and fold the dough over to cover the filling. Shape it back into a ball and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the stuffed biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter topping. Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra kick, you can add a dash of hot sauce to the crab filling.
These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
