Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients: 
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3 eggs, large
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions (scallions), chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 10 ounces crawfish tails, roughly chopped

Chef's note: Crawfish bread can basically be made two ways;many people make a crawfish mixture and spread it on the french bread.  My recipe is different, I make a loaf of bread with all the seasonings and crawfish mixed in before baking.
