Don't over mix. Remove from processor and roll out on a floured surface. Using a 2-inch round pastry cutter, make circles and bake on parchment paper at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 min till golden. A tester should come out cleanly. (Makes 12 biscuits, 2 per serving)
  3. For the Lemongrass-Crab-Fennel Salad: In a small saute/fry pan on medium heat, add in 1 Tbsp. oil and saute/fry lemongrass and scallion whites till soft, about 4 min. Season and set aside. In a bowl, whisk together juice, coriander, scallion greens and remaining oil. Add in lemongrass and check for seasoning. In another bowl, mix crab and fennel. Add in 2/3 of the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Check for seasoning.
  4. For Plating: Cut the biscuits in half. Lay a little salad down to prevent sliding and place the bottom half on the salad. Top with small mound of salad the top with egg. Drizzle on vinaigrette and rest top of biscuit against the mound.
