Instructions

1. Prepare the crab filling:
   In a bowl, gently combine crab meat, mayo, cream cheese, mustard, spices (paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper), and optional Ritz crumbs or Parmesan. Don’t overmix—you want some chunks of crab. gracefulflavors.com+15donerecipe.com+15food52.com+15

2. Mix biscuit dough:
   In another bowl, stir together biscuit mix, cheddar, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add milk and gently mix until just combined. gourmetmartha.com+5food52.com+5lusciousrecipes.com+5donerecipe.com+1lifewithjanet.com+1

3. Assemble biscuits:
   Preheat oven to 375–400°F. Line a baking tray or grease muffin tin. Using floured hands, shape ~2 tbsp of biscuit dough into small cups or balls, press gently, fill with ~1 tbsp crab filling, then top with another spoonful of dough, sealing the crab inside.

4. Bake:
   Bake for 12–15 minutes, until just golden and cooked through.

5. Glaze & serve:
   Mix melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley. Brush over warm biscuits right after they come out. Serve fresh! reddit.com+15donerecipe.com+15fullrecipy.com+15

✅ Tips & Variations

• Make-ahead ready: Assemble and refrigerate before baking; bake straight from fridge—add 2–3 minutes. gracefulflavors.com

• Freeze well: Freeze unbaked biscuits for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding a few minutes.

• Scale the crab meat: From 8 oz for milder crab flavor to 16 oz for extra richness. mmmrecipes.com+10lusciousrecipes.com+10lifewithjanet.com+10

• Gluten-free option: Use GF biscuit mix or almond flour blend.

• Make smaller bites: For grazing platters, make into mini muffins (~18 per batch).
