Here’s a delicious recipe for Cheddar Bay Crab Stuffed Biscuits—a savory, cheesy, and slightly garlicky treat:
Ingredients:
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
For the crab filling:
- 1 cup crab meat, drained and picked over
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning (or to taste)
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the topping (optional, Cheddar Bay style):
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried parsley
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the crab filling:
- In a small bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, cream cheese, green onions, Old Bay, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Prepare the biscuit dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk until dough just comes together.
- Gently fold in shredded cheddar.
- Assemble the stuffed biscuits:
- On a floured surface, roll or pat dough to about ½-inch thick.
- Cut into squares or rounds (~3-inch diameter).
- Place about 1–2 tsp of crab filling in the center of each piece.
- Fold dough over and pinch edges to seal completely.
- Bake:
- Arrange biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden brown.
- Optional Cheddar Bay topping:
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley.
- Brush over warm biscuits right after baking.
- Serve:
- Enjoy warm as an appetizer or alongside soup or salad.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut version using store-bought biscuit dough that makes these just as tasty in half the time.
Do you want me to share that quick version?
