Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits with Lemon Butter
These Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits are fluffy, cheesy biscuits filled with crab meat and enhanced with lemon zest and juice. Baked to golden perfection and brushed with a tangy lemon butter, they make a savory, flavorful treat!
Ingredients:
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
* 3/4 cup grated Feta cheese
* 1/2 cup crab meat (jumbo lump or claw meat)
* 1 tablespoon lemon zest
* 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1/4 cup lemon butter (softened)
Instructions:
1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry blender or your fingers to incorporate it until the mixture becomes crumbly.
4. Stir in the grated Feta cheese, crab meat, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
5. Gently mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms, but don’t overwork it.
6. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough into 8-10 equal-sized balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. While the biscuits are baking, mix the softened lemon butter with a little extra lemon juice for added flavor.
9. Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and brush each one with the lemon butter mixture while still warm.
10. Serve immediately, warm and fluffy, for the perfect combination of cheesy, crab-filled goodness with a tangy lemon butter finish.
