For the Lemon Butter Glaze:

Instructions
Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease two muffin tins with nonstick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Follow package instructions to prepare the biscuit dough. Set aside.
2. Make the Crab Filling:
- In a separate bowl, mix together lump crab meat, paprika, onion powder, mayonnaise, mustard, crushed Ritz crackers, and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
3. Assemble the Stuffed Biscuits:
- Dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking.
- Take a portion of the biscuit dough and flatten it into a small circle in your palm.
- Place a spoonful of crab filling in the center of the dough circle.
- Fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal and form a ball.
- Place each stuffed ball into the prepared muffin tins.
4. Bake the Biscuits:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Make the Lemon Butter Glaze:
- While the biscuits bake, melt the butter and stir in the lemon juice.
6. Glaze and Serve:
- Once the biscuits are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the lemon butter glaze.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like dill or chives into the crab mixture.
- For a crispy crust, broil the biscuits for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- To prevent soggy biscuits, avoid overloading the crab filling with too much mayo or liquid ingredients.
