Dry Ingredients:
- 1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
- 1 cup grated parmesan
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup + more mayonnaise, if needed
- Melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Craft the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mixture precisely following package instructions, ensuring a smooth, consistent blend.
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and generously coat two muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
- Create a delectable crab filling by combining succulent crab meat with paprika, onion powder, mustard, mayonnaise, and crushed Ritz crackers, blending until the mixture holds together seamlessly.
- Dust hands lightly with flour and gently shape a portion of biscuit dough into a delicate cup-like form.
- Carefully nestle a generous scoop of the prepared crab mixture into the center of each biscuit cup.
- Tenderly drape additional biscuit dough over the crab filling, completely sealing the savory treasure inside.
- Continue assembling the stuffed biscuits, strategically positioning each one in the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
- During baking, whisk together melted butter and fresh lemon juice to create a bright, zesty finishing glaze.
- Immediately upon removing from the oven, brush the hot biscuits with the lemon-infused butter, enhancing their aromatic appeal.
Notes
- Opt for fresh crab meat to enhance the flavor and texture of the stuffed biscuits, ensuring a delightful seafood experience.
- Keep the crab mixture slightly moist with mayonnaise to prevent dry biscuits and maintain a creamy, rich filling.
- Gently fold ingredients to avoid overworking the biscuit dough, which can result in tough, dense biscuits.
- Experiment with gluten-free biscuit mix and gluten-free crackers to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
