Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

I found these on another website and wanted to share with you guys. They promise to be better than the restaurant version, and they sure sound like it! Enjoy! 

Biscuits
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
2 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup  sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (for topping)

Garlic Butter Topping
4 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
garlic salt, to taste 

Adjust oven rack upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees.  
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or grease for easy removal of biscuits.
Whisk together flour, cheddar cheese, sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic in a medium bowl.  
Add milk and stir until ingredients are mixed, be careful not to over mix.  
At this point the dough should be fairly sticky but not runny or dry.  Add more flour or milk as needed to achieve desired consistency.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet with a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons worth of dough).  Top each biscuit with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. 
Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to brown.
In a small bowl, melt the butter along with the garlic and parsley in the microwave.  Brush tops with garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with garlic salt to taste.
