A homemade version of the popular Cheddar Bay Biscuits served at Red Lobster restaurants
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
In a KitchenAid stand mixer (or a large bowl), mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne. Stir in the cheddar cheese; set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk and melted butter until the butter forms small clumps.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix gently mix together, just until a dough forms and no dry ingredients remain. Use a greased ¼-cup measuring cup to scoop out portions of dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little more than an inch between biscuits.
Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 12 minutes. While the biscuits are in the oven, stir together melted butter, garlic & onion powder and parsley.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush with the topping mixture.
Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 3 days.
