Ingredients
  

Biscuits
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Butter Topping
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  3. Add cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, work the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley.
  5. Create a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in cold buttermilk. Using a fork, gently stir until dough just comes together. It should look shaggy and slightly sticky.
  6. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  8. While biscuits bake, mix melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt.
  9. Brush garlic butter mixture generously over hot biscuits immediately after removing from oven.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for better texture. Don't overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. Don't open oven door during first 10 minutes of baking. Store leftover biscuits in airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Can mix dry ingredients up to a week ahead.
