  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and paprika.

  • Stir in cheddar cheese.

  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten slightly in your hand. Place 1 tablespoon of crab filling in the center.
  • Fold dough around filling and pinch edges closed. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
