  • Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add Cheese & Crab: Stir in the cheddar cheese and crab meat gently to distribute evenly.
  • Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until combined — don’t overmix!
  • Shape Biscuits: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out biscuit-sized portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  • Make Lemon Butter: While biscuits bake, whisk together melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Brush Biscuits: When out of the oven, immediately brush the biscuits generously with lemon butter.
  • Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top if desired and serve warm.

  • Serving Suggestions

    • Pair with a fresh green salad or chilled seafood cocktail.
    • Serve alongside creamy clam chowder or lobster bisque for a seafood feast.
    • Enjoy as a decadent snack or party appetizer.

    Pro Tips for Success

    • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor; canned works in a pinch.
    • Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits.
    • Don’t overwork the dough—it should be slightly sticky.
    • Brush lemon butter generously for maximum flavor impact.
