Cheddar Biscuits

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Sprinkle in Old Bay seasoning if using.

Add the cubed butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Toss in the shredded cheddar cheese and coat it with the mixture. Gradually pour in the buttermilk while stirring gently until the dough comes together.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
