Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  3. Add ½ cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly dispersed.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine ¾ cup of buttermilk, 1 cup of fresh crab meat, and ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley. Mix until well blended.
  6. Carefully fold the crab mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Shape the dough into biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. While baking, prepare the lemon butter sauce by whisking together ¼ cup melted butter, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  10. Once baked, drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the biscuits before serving warm.
