Ingredients

For the Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour , spooned and leveled
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (fresh off a block of cheese)
1 cup cold full-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled for 5 minutes)

For the Topping

2 tablespoons unsalted melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne. Stir in the cheddar cheese.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter.
Pour buttermilk mixture over dry ingredients and mix gently using a rubber spatula just until moist and a dough comes together with no dry ingredients remaining.
Using a greased 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop out even portions of the batter on the prepared baking sheet, with at least a 1-inch gap in between the biscuits.
Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 12 minutes.
While the biscuits are baking, make the topping. Whisk together the 2 tablespoons melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush with the butter mixture. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
