For the Lemon Butter Sauce:

1/4 cup unsalted butter 🧈

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 🍋

1/2 tsp garlic powder 🧄

1/4 tsp paprika 🌶️

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.

Step 2: Make the Biscuits

In a large bowl, mix together the Bisquick mix, shredded cheddar, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix).

Step 3: Prepare the Crab Filling

In a medium bowl, mix the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Biscuits

Scoop a heaping tablespoon of biscuit dough and flatten it slightly in your palm.

Add a teaspoon of crab filling to the center, then top with another small piece of dough, pressing the edges to seal.

Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat until just warmed.

Step 7: Serve

Brush the warm biscuits with the lemon butter sauce before serving. Garnish with extra green onions or parsley for a fresh touch.

Tips:

For an extra cheesy twist, sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top before baking.

Use lump crab meat for the best texture and flavor.

Serve with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.

Enjoy these savory, decadent biscuits that are sure to impress! 🥰✨
