Step 3: In a large bowl combine the flour with the next 4 dry ingredients, then mix in the cheese.
Step 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.
Step 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).
Step 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).
Step 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.
Step 8: Scoop 1/4-cup batter onto prepared baking sheet spacing the dough about 1-1/2 inches apart.
Step 9: Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
