Ingredients:

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose baking mix (like Bisquick)
• ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ⅔ cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Crab Filling:

• 8 ounces lump crab meat, picked over for shells
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Lemon Butter Topping:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crab Filling:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, cream cheese, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and set aside.
2. Make the Biscuit Dough:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • In a large bowl, mix the baking mix, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, melted butter, and garlic powder until a dough forms.
3. Assemble the Stuffed Biscuits:
   • Divide the biscuit dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small disc.
   • Place a spoonful of the crab filling in the center of each disc and fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
   • Arrange the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down.
4. Bake the Biscuits:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
5. Prepare the Lemon Butter Topping:

6. Finish and Serve:
