Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

3/4 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

2 cloves garlic, minced (for brushing)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed and free from lumps.

      Incorporate Butter: Add the chilled, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut and rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining for a flaky texture.

        Add Cheese and Chives: Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

          Stir in Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Take care not to overmix; a slightly sticky dough is perfectly fine.

            Shape the Biscuits: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently 2-3 times, just until it comes together, then pat it out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out circular biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Repat any leftover dough and continue cutting until all the dough is used.

              Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over the tops of each biscuit for added flavor.

                Bake: Place the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and have a delicious aroma.

                  Finish and Serve: After removing the biscuits from the oven, give them a final brush with any remaining garlic butter. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the tops for a pop of color. Serve them warm on their own, or alongside your favorite soup or salad for a delightful meal.
