Ingredients

For the biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup buttermilk

For the garlic butter topping:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. Cut in the butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Add the buttermilk: Gradually add the buttermilk to the flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Form the biscuits: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake: Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
7. Prepare the garlic butter topping: While the biscuits are baking, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and dried parsley.
8. Brush the biscuits: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.
