Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix, cheese, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper; stir. Add the milk to the mixture; stir until a soft dough forms.
In another bowl, mix together the crab meat, garlic, parsley, lemon zest and lemon juice.
Flatten a small portion of the biscuit dough in your hands. Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center; fold the dough over, pinching the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and crab mixture.
Place the stuffed biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet; brush tops with melted butter.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
While the biscuits are baking, make the lemon butter. Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan; add a squeeze of lemon juice; stir until combined.
When done, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Serve biscuits warm, garnished with fresh parsley and/or a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning, if desired and with the lemon butter for dipping.
6 servings.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Tips:
To reheat, place biscuits on a baking sheet; warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through. Or, microwave them on a microwave-safe plate for 30-60 seconds until warm.
Avoid storing the biscuits with the lemon butter dipping sauce or they could become soggy. Store the lemon butter separately in a sealed container in the refrigerator; reheat gently before serving.
