Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (218°C).

Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl or food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Cut in butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Combine wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk and the honey. Gently mix until just combined.

Knead the dough: Lightly flour your countertop and knead the dough gently for about 30 seconds. Shape the dough into a rectangle and fold it into thirds. Repeat this process three times to create layers.

Cut out biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut the dough into circles. Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush with buttermilk: Use the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk to gently brush the tops of the biscuits.

Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush this mixture on the biscuits after they come out of the oven. Serve warm.
