- 2½ cups (312.5g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 cup medium cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 cups (490g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter,  melted
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a 7x11-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. 
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to a medium bowl. Use a whisk to sift ingredients. 
- Fold in cheddar cheese and chives. 
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter. 
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Place the dough on top of the butter and use a spatula (or your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan. 
- Cut the unbaked dough into 8 squares. Bake for 26-28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. 
- When done, remove the biscuits from the oven. Allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits before serving.
