Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and dried parsley, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Pour in the milk and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough will be slightly sticky.
Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
While the biscuits bake, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small bowl. Stir in the additional 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley.
As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the melted butter mixture to enhance the flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheddar Bay Biscuits with your favorite meal.
