Ingredients

2 cups All Purpose Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Granulated White Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted
1 1/2 cup Old/Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded

Garlic Herb Butter

1/4 cup Salted Butter melted
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degree Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside. Then, melt butter in a microwave safe dish, set aside and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, granulated white sugar, garlic powder, old bay seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper, whisk together until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and butter. Add the buttermilk butter mixture to the dry ingredients, and gently mix until wet ingredients have been absorbed and dough moist - do not over mix. The dough will NOT be smooth, this is what you want - thick, sticky, clumpy. Then fold in the cheese.
Using 3 tablespoons to a 1/4 cup of dough, drop heaping spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
In the meantime, melt butter in a medium microwave safe dish. Then add fresh parsley, and garlic powder, mix until combined and set aside. Remove biscuits from oven, brush with prepared garlic herb butter and enjoy!

Notes

No Buttermilk - add 1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of room temperature milk. Mix together and let sit for 5 minutes.
