Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, salt, sugar and baking powder. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until butter is the size of small peas. Stir in cheddar cheese.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the milk and mix just until combined. Once the batter forms into a soft dough, use your hands to fold in the dry pieces that haven’t been incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. Note that the dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 3/4-inch thick disk. Flour a biscuit cutter and cut out rounds of dough. Place biscuits onto prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

In a small bowl combine melted butter, garlic powder and dried oregano. Brush the tops of the biscuits with half the butter mixture.

Step 6

Bake biscuits for 13 to 16 minutes, or until tops are just golden brown.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining butter mixture. Let cool and serve.
