Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
Add the cheese: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, making sure it is evenly coated with the flour mixture.
Incorporate the wet ingredients: Slowly pour in the milk and melted butter. Gently mix until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
Shape the biscuits: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Aim for about 2 tablespoons of dough per biscuit, spaced 1-2 inches apart.
Bake: Place the biscuits in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Prepare the topping: While the biscuits bake, mix the melted butter, dried parsley, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Brush and serve: Once the biscuits are out of the oven, generously brush the tops with the prepared butter topping. Serve warm and enjoy!
