Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Prepare Crab Filling: In another bowl, combine lump crab meat, green onions, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix until incorporated.
- Form the Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or your hands, form the cheddar biscuit dough into rounds about 1-2 inches thick.
- Stuff the Biscuits: Make an indentation in each biscuit round and spoon the crab mixture into the center. Fold the dough over the filling to encase it and reshape as needed.
- Bake: Place the stuffed biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare Lemon Butter: While the biscuits bake, mix melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
