Instructions
 

Prepare the Crab Filling:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the lump crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and green onions. Mix gently until well blended. Set aside.

      Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuits:

        - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

          - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

            - Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

              - Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and parsley.

                - Gradually add the buttermilk to the mixture just until combined. Do not overmix.

                  Form the Biscuits:

                    - Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it just until it comes together. Pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

                      - Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place half of them on the prepared baking sheet.

                        - Add a generous spoonful of the crab filling to each of these biscuit rounds.

                          - Top with the remaining biscuit rounds, sealing the edges carefully.

                            Bake the Biscuits:

                              - Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

                                Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce:

                                  - In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

                                    - Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Drizzle the warm lemon butter sauce over the crab stuffed cheddar bay biscuits before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
