This seems like the kind of appetizer Mad Men’s Betty Draper would serve at one of her 1950s dinner parties while sipping a Vodka Gimlet Cocktail. These bite-size snacks are ideal for munching on while milling about and hearing the latest gossip from your friends and family.
Ingredients
- ¾ (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 12 ounces canned crabmeat, drained

- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, crabmeat, minced green onion, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the pastry to about a 12-inch square. Cut into 16 squares.
- Fill each square with about 2 tablespoons of the crab filling.
- Fold the dough over on each side of the square to create a raised, open cup.
