Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and prepare a 11×17 baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and garlic powder. Mix with a fork until well combined.
Add cheese and continue to mix until all of the cheese is fully coated.
Add in buttermilk and ½ cup melted butter. Combine well until the mixture is thick and similar to a “wet/loose dough”.
Lightly scoop the mixture using a spoon of a ¼ measuring cup and spoon out biscuits onto the baking sheet, dolloping 1-2 heavy spoonfuls. Be sure to leave about 2 inches in between each biscuit.
Place the baking sheet inside the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
