Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk these ingredients together until well blended.
  4. Step 4: Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped parsley until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  6. Step 6: Gradually pour the buttermilk into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Step 8: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the batter.
  9. Step 9: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  10. Step 10: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the loaf while warm and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter is cold when cutting it into the dry ingredients. Don’t skip the buttermilk! If you don’t have any, you can make a substitute by mixing milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
