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 flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and garlic powder until blended.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Create a well in the dry mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in garlic powder and parsley if desired.
  9. Brush the warm biscuits with the melted garlic butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
