Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to drain the crab meat well before adding it to the filling. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • If you don't have any Old Bay seasoning, you can substitute a mixture of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • To make the triangles easier to fold, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overfill the triangles. If they're too full, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
  • If you don't have any parchment paper, you can grease a baking sheet and use that instead.
  • Serve the crab crescent triangles warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab crescent triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with a simple dough that is filled with a creamy crab filling and then baked until golden brown. These triangles are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
