Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat, chopped
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
