Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, parsley, and paprika.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl (or large measuring cup) mix the buttermilk and the half cup of melted butter. Pour the buttermilk and butter mix into the dry ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula right before the flour is completely incorporated.

Step 4

Gently fold in the cheddar cheese, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Using an ice cream scoop, place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced 1-2 inches apart.

Step 6

Bake for 10 minutes. Mix 3 tablespoon melted butter, parsley and garlic powder in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to brush the mixture generously over the hot biscuits.

Step 7

Let cool on the pan until cool enough to handle then serve warm.
