# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Biscuit Base

01 - 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (about 11 ounces)
02 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic, minced or garlic powder

→ Crab Filling

04 - 1 pound cooked lump crab meat
05 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
06 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
07 - 1/4 teaspoon paprika
08 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers, finely crushed (about 15 crackers)
10 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
11 - Kosher salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Lemon Butter Glaze

13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
14 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

→ Additional

15 - Nonstick cooking spray for muffin tin
16 - All-purpose flour, for dusting hands

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - Mix Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to package directions. Incorporate Italian seasoning and garlic into the dough.
03 - In a large bowl, gently fold together lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, onion powder, crushed Ritz crackers, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, keeping the crab in discernible chunks.
04 - With hands lightly floured, portion out biscuit dough and press each piece into your palm to form a shallow cup shape.
05 - Place a generous spoonful of crab mixture into each biscuit cup. Cover with additional biscuit dough, pinching the edges to seal the filling inside.
06 - Arrange each stuffed biscuit into the muffin tin cups. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and set.
07 - While biscuits bake, combine melted butter and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the lemon butter glaze.
08 - Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with lemon butter as soon as they come out of the oven. Allow to cool slightly, and serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For the best flavor, use freshly picked lump crab meat and adjust seasoning to taste.
02 - Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
