1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix the dough; it should be slightly sticky and lumpy.
6. Form the Biscuits: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop about 1/4 cup of dough onto the prepared baking sheet for each biscuit, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
8. Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping: While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, parsley flakes, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
9. Brush with Garlic Butter: Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.
