Cube butter and place in the freezer while you prep and measure remaining ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine sifted flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, baking powder and cream of tartar.
Mix in the butter with the flour ingredients until crumbly. Don't overbeat.
Add in the shredded cheese and combine.
Create a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk and mix just until incorporated.
Lightly dust the workspace with flour and add the batter to the floured surface. Shape into a rectangle then fold one side into the center and repeat with the other side.
With a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about a 5”x10” rectangle. With a biscuit mold, make 10 biscuits and then with the extra dough, create the last 2 biscuits.
Carefully transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
Combine the butter, garlic and parsley for the herb butter and melt in a saucepan or microwave.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted herb butter. Enjoy!
