Ingredients

1 pkg thomas english muffins
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 can(s) geisha snow white crabmeat
5 oz kraft old english spread
3/4 stick butter
garlic powder

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

4. Lay muffins on baking tray, spread side up, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
5. Note: You can substitute 5 ounces Cheez Whiz for the Kraft Old English spread if desired or if the Kraft spread is not available.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you don't have fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
If you don't have Old Bay Seasoning, you can use a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery salt.
Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve the muffins warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Crabmeat muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these tasty muffins any time you want.
