- 1 package of Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ cup (or more as needed) mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mustard
- ½ sleeve of Ritz crackers, finely crushed
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Flour, for dusting hands

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Biscuit Mix and Oven
- Prepare the biscuit mix according to the package instructions and set it aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spray two muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Crab Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, paprika, onion powder, mustard, mayonnaise, and crushed Ritz crackers.
- Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended. Adjust the consistency with a bit more mayonnaise if the mixture seems too dry.
Step 3: Form the Biscuits
- Lightly dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the biscuit mix and flatten it into a small cup shape in your hand.
- Place a generous scoop of the crab mixture into the center of the biscuit dough.
- Gently fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the crab mixture, sealing it inside. Ensure there are no openings.
Step 4: Assemble in Muffin Tins
- Place each stuffed biscuit into a prepared muffin tin compartment.
- Repeat the process until all the biscuit dough and crab mixture are used up.
Step 5: Bake and Serve
- Bake the stuffed biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the biscuits are baking, mix the melted butter with lemon juice.
- Once the biscuits are done, immediately brush them with the lemon butter mixture.
- Serve warm and enjoy the savory flavors of crab and cheese in a delightful biscuit!
