Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix and cream cheese. Mix until a sand-like consistency forms.
- Gradually add ice-cold water two tablespoons at a time while mixing on low speed until thick and sticky.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully incorporated to create a rich, cheesy batter.
- Gently fold in the drained crab meat and Cajun seasoning by hand, keeping crab lumps intact.
- Spray hands and a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray. Form the biscuit dough into 6 to 8 round balls and place them on the sheet with space between.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake biscuits for 14 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Finishing Touch
- Melt butter in a saucepan, mix with seasoning packet and roasted garlic.
- Drizzle warm garlic butter over biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.
Notes
Serve hot from the oven. For variations, use low-fat cheese or add diced jalapeños for heat. They can also be frozen raw for future baking.
