Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the lobster filling:
• 300 g cooked lobster meat, chopped
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the biscuits (quick method):
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)

For the biscuits (homemade):
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 6 tbsp cold butter
• ¾ cup cold milk or buttermilk

For the garlic butter brushing:
• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley
• Pinch of paprika

Directions

1. Melt the 2 tbsp butter for the filling in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
2. Stir in the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
3. Fold in the chopped lobster, remove from heat, and let the mixture cool slightly.
4. If using canned biscuits, gently flatten each biscuit with your hands.
5. If making homemade biscuits, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly, then add the milk to form a dough. Shape and cut into 8–10 biscuits.
6. Place 1–2 tablespoons of lobster filling in the center of each biscuit. Pinch the dough around the filling to seal, then place seam-side down on a parchment-lined tray.
7. Brush lightly with garlic butter. Bake at 200°C for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Once baked, brush generously with the remaining garlic butter and garnish with parsley and a pinch of paprika. Serve warm.

FAQs

How do I keep the biscuits from opening while baking?

Seal the dough tightly around the filling and place each biscuit seam-side down on the baking tray.

Can I use frozen lobster meat?

Yes, frozen cooked lobster works well. Thaw completely and drain excess moisture before using.

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate it until ready to use.

Can I freeze the stuffed biscuits?

It’s best to freeze them unbaked. Assemble, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

Can I use cream instead of mayonnaise?

Mayonnaise adds richness and creaminess, but a small amount of heavy cream can be used if needed.

What can I substitute for parsley?

Chives, dill, or cilantro work well as alternatives.

Can I double the recipe?

Can I make them spicier?

Add chili flakes, cayenne, or a touch of hot sauce to the filling.

How do I keep the biscuits soft?

Avoid overbaking and store them in an airtight container after cooling slightly.

Can I use whole wheat flour for the homemade biscuits?
