Instructions
 

Prepare the Biscuit Dough:

    - Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.

        - Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

          - Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chives.

            - Pour in the buttermilk gradually, stirring until just combined to form a dough.

              Make the Crab Filling:

                - In a separate bowl, mix together the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Combine until smooth and set aside.

                  Form the Biscuits:

                    - Using a cookie scoop or your hands, take a portion of the biscuit dough and flatten it in your palm.

                      - Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the crab filling in the center, then fold the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal.

                        - Place the stuffed biscuit on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough and filling are used.

                          Bake the Biscuits:

                            - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

                              Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce:

                                - While the biscuits bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

                                  - Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with salt to taste.

                                    Serve:

                                      - Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush them generously with the lemon butter sauce while still warm. Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
