Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Incorporate the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and then pour in the buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Drop approximately ¼ cup portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. While baking, melt a few tablespoons of butter and mix in garlic powder and chopped parsley.
  8. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted garlic-parsley butter right after removing them from the oven.
