Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package cheddar bay biscuit mix
- 1 pound lump crab meat, fully cooked
- 1/2 sleeve ritz crackers, crushed
- 1 cup grated parmesan
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp) paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) italian seasoning
Binding and Brushing Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup + more as needed mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) mustard
- Melted butter
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) lemon juice
Instructions
- Craft a delicate biscuit base using the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix, following the package guidelines precisely.
- Heat the oven to a precise 375°F (190°C), ensuring optimal baking conditions. Liberally coat two muffin tins with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Create a rich crab filling by gently blending succulent crab meat with aromatic paprika, zesty onion powder, tangy mustard, creamy mayonnaise, and crushed crackers. Adjust the moisture with additional mayonnaise to achieve a cohesive texture.
- Lightly dust hands with flour to prevent sticking, then carefully shape the biscuit mix into delicate cup-like formations.
- Nestle a generous portion of the prepared crab mixture into the center of each biscuit dough pocket.
- Tenderly drape additional biscuit dough over the crab filling, meticulously sealing the edges to create a complete enclosure.
- Gently position each stuffed biscuit into the prepared muffin tray, ensuring even spacing.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
- While the biscuits are still piping hot, whisk together melted butter and bright lemon juice, then lovingly brush the mixture over the freshly baked treats to enhance their flavor and shine.
Notes
- Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture, avoiding imitation crab which can be less authentic.
- Ensure biscuit dough is evenly distributed to prevent uneven baking or filling leakage during cooking.
- Experiment with additional herbs like chopped chives or dill to enhance the seafood filling’s aromatic profile.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute regular biscuit mix with a gluten-free alternative and use gluten-free crackers in the crab mixture.
