Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Use a pastry blender (cooking utensil used to mix a hard fat into flour) to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Combine until the butter forms marble-sized crumbs. Mix in the cheese.
Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Portion the mixture into ¼ cup dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 16 to 17 minutes.
While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.
