Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a 7x11-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

Add flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to a medium bowl. Use a whisk to sift ingredients.

Step 3

Fold in cheddar cheese and chives.

Step 4

Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.

Step 5

Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Place the dough on top of the butter and use a spatula (or your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.

Step 6

Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3x3 pattern). Bake for 26-28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 7

When done, remove the biscuits from the oven. Allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits before serving.
