Creating Cheddar Bay Biscuits at home is easy! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Melt Butter: In a separate bowl, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the mixture.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Add Cheddar: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
6. Scoop Biscuits: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop generous mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
8. Prepare Topping: While the biscuits are baking, melt the remaining ¼ cup of butter in a small bowl. Stir in the additional garlic powder and chopped parsley.
9. Glaze the Biscuits: Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.
10. Serve Warm: Allow the biscuits to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve warm, enjoying the heavenly aroma.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to recreate the iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits right in your own kitchen.
