Ingredients

Scale

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat, drained and chopped

For the Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Biscuit Dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and sugar. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Old Bay seasoning.
  • Add Buttermilk:
    Gradually add the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.
  • Shape Biscuits:
    Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming about 10-12 biscuits.
  • Bake Biscuits:
    Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  • Prepare Lemon Butter Sauce:
    While the biscuits bake, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Finish and Serve:
    Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

  • You can use fresh crab meat or canned, but ensure it’s drained and chopped finely.
  • For a more intense flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or extra Old Bay seasoning to the dough.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to maintain their crispness.
