  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda and garlic powder.
  3. Add in the butter, using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into small pieces, some lumps are ok here, but work fast to keep the butter chilly.
  4. Add in the cheese and lightly mix.
  5. Add in the buttermilk and sour cream, stirring together until just moist – don’t overmix!
  6. Lightly spray a cast iron or grill-safe baking sheet with oil, then drop biscuit mix on to form 12 biscuits even in size and evenly spaced.
  7. Place the pan over indirect heat, close the lid and grill about 20 minutes.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients together.
  9. Remove the cast iron pan carefully and brush the topping over the biscuits; serve while warm.
