Ingredient Notes – Why These Ingredients Work

Crab meat provides lean protein, minerals, and a naturally sweet seafood flavor that makes these biscuits unique.

Almond flour keeps the recipe lower in carbohydrates compared to traditional wheat flour while creating a soft and tender biscuit texture.

Cheddar and mozzarella cheese add richness, creaminess, and that irresistible cheesy pull everyone loves.

Greek yogurt or sour cream helps keep the biscuits moist and fluffy.

Lemon and herbs brighten the recipe while adding fresh flavor that balances the richness of the cheese and butter.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the dry ingredients well so the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the biscuits.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth and creamy.

Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 2: Add the Cheesy Crab Filling

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, green onions, and crab meat.

Gently mix everything together, being careful not to break the crab pieces too much.

The goal is to keep small chunks of crab throughout the dough so every biscuit has delicious seafood flavor.

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

Place each biscuit onto the prepared baking sheet.

Shape them gently with your hands to create a round biscuit shape.

Avoid pressing too firmly because a lighter touch helps create a fluffy texture.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden and Fluffy

Bake the biscuits for 22–25 minutes until they become golden brown on top.

The cheese should be melted, the edges slightly crispy, and the center soft and tender.

Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before adding the lemon butter topping.

Step 5: Add the Lemon Butter Finish

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and garlic powder.

Brush the warm biscuits generously with the lemon butter mixture.

The bright citrus flavor brings everything together and gives these biscuits a fresh restaurant-style finish.
