#### Step-by-Step Recipe
**1. Preheat the Oven**
Preheat your oven to **400°F (200°C)**. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
**2. Make the Biscuit Dough**
In a large bowl, whisk together the **flour**, **baking powder**, **baking soda**, **salt**, and **garlic powder**. Cut in the **cold butter** using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the **cheddar cheese**. Add the **buttermilk** and mix just until the dough comes together (don’t overmix).
**3. Prepare the Crab Filling**
In a medium bowl, combine the **crab meat**, **cream cheese**, **mayonnaise**, **Dijon mustard**, **Old Bay seasoning**, **green onion**, and **parsley**. Mix until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
**4. Assemble the Biscuits**
Scoop about **2 tablespoons of biscuit dough** and flatten it slightly in your hand. Add a heaping teaspoon of the crab filling to the center. Cover with another flattened piece of dough and pinch the edges to seal, shaping it into a biscuit. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
**5. Bake the Biscuits**
Place the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for **12-15 minutes**, or until golden brown on top.
**6. Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce**
While the biscuits are baking, melt the **butter** in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the **garlic** and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the **lemon juice**, **parsley**, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Keep warm.
**7. Brush and Serve**
When the biscuits are done, brush them generously with the warm lemon butter sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
