Ingredients

Scale

  1. 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming about 10-12 biscuits.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • If you prefer a stronger crab flavor, feel free to add more lump crab meat.
  • These biscuits are best served warm, right after baking, with the lemon butter sauce drizzled over them.
  • You can also substitute the crab meat with shrimp for a different seafood twist.
