Pro Tips:

Crab Meat: Use high-quality, cooked crab meat for the best flavor. If using canned crab, be sure to drain it well to avoid excess moisture.

Dough Handling: Lightly flour your hands and work surface to prevent the biscuit dough from sticking. This will make shaping the biscuits easier.

Filling Consistency: If the crab filling seems too dry, add a little more mayonnaise to achieve a creamy consistency that will stay inside the biscuit cups.

Even Baking: Place the filled biscuit dough in a well-greased muffin tin to ensure even cooking and easy removal.

Lemon Butter: For an extra burst of citrus flavor, use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice. You can also add a bit of lemon zest to the butter for added zing.
