Ideal for holiday parties, casual get-togethers, or a quick weeknight treat, these mini pies are easy to assemble and freeze for later. They offer a comforting, home-style texture that feels indulgent yet simple. Serve them warm as an elegant hors d’oeuvre or a hearty snack. The combination of garlic powder and seasoned salt enhances the natural flavors without overpowering the delicate crab. A crowd-pleasing recipe that brings a touch of British-inspired comfort to any menu.
