Prepare The Biscuit Dough: Follow the instructions on your biscuit mix or use your favorite biscuit recipe to create a soft and fluffy dough. Incorporate the cheddar cheese directly into the dough for an extra cheesy twist.
Seasoning The Crab Meat: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, minced garlic, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika. Gently fold the ingredients together.
Creating The Filling: Take small portions of the prepared biscuit dough and flatten them into circles. Place a spoonful of the seasoned crab mixture in the center of each circle.
Forming The Biscuits: Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the crab mixture, sealing the filling within. Gently shape the dough into round biscuits.
Baking Perfection: Brush the tops of the stuffed biscuits with melted butter to add a golden, buttery finish. Sprinkle a pinch of Old Bay seasoning over each biscuit for a burst of flavor and a touch of cayenne pepper if you desire a hint of heat.
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your biscuit mix or recipe, usually around 375°F (190°C). Place the baking sheet with the stuffed biscuits into the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are beautifully golden on top and have puffed up. The cheese inside should be melted, and the crab filling heated through.
While the biscuits are baking, you can prepare a simple dipping sauce to complement the flavors. Combine melted butter, a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning, and a touch of minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.
Once the Crab Stuffed Cheddar Bay Biscuits are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
