📝 Ingredients:

Cheddar Bay Stuffed Biscuit:

• 1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Crab Filling:

• 1 pound lump crab meat, fully cooked
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2+ cup mayonnaise (add more if needed for moisture)
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Lemon Butter Sauce:

• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp melted butter

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare Biscuit Mix: Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package directions, then add garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the mixture. Set aside.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray two muffin tins with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
3. Make Crab Filling: In a bowl, combine the lump crab meat, paprika, onion powder, mustard, mayonnaise, crushed Ritz crackers, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed, adding more mayonnaise if needed for a moist filling.
4. Form the Biscuits: Using a scoop, take some biscuit dough and place it in your floured hand to form a cup shape. Add a scoop of the crab mixture into the center, then cover with a bit more biscuit dough to seal.
5. Place in Muffin Tins: Continue this process until all the biscuit dough and crab mixture are used. Place each stuffed biscuit into the prepared muffin tins.
6. Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Prepare Lemon Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the lemon juice.
8. Finish and Serve: Once the biscuits are baked, brush them with the lemon butter sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
