  2. Generously grease a medium baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl combine the flour with the next 4 dry ingredients, then mix in the cheese.
  4. Melt 1/2 cup butter in the microwave or on top of the stove, allow to cool at room temperature for 5 minutes while chilling the buttermilk.
  5. Place the buttermilk in the the freezer for 5-7 minutes or until very cold but not frozen (the buttermilk needs to be very cold before adding in the melted butter).
  6. Mix in the 1/2 cup melted butter to cold buttermilk; stir until butter forms small clumps (stir for about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes).
  7. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients; stir gently using a spatula until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  8. Scoop 1/4-cup batter onto prepared baking sheet spacing the dough about 1-1/2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Brush the hot biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.
