1-Preheat: Getting these cheesy garlic biscuits right is all about following a few straightforward steps, and trust me, the results are worth it! Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This simple setup ensures your biscuits bake evenly and come out with that perfect golden crust.

2-Mix dry ingredients: Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until everything is well mixed. Then, use a pastry cutter to work in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture looks like pea-sized crumbs this step is key for that flaky texture. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to distribute it evenly.

3-Combine and bake: Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently stir just until combined, making sure not to overmix for tender biscuits. Drop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet using scant 1/4-cup portions for rustic shapes. Bake for 16 to 17 minutes until golden brown, then mix the melted butter, dried parsley, and garlic powder for the topping and brush it on right away.
