Whisk together Flour, Powder, Soda, Salt, and Sugar. Make a well in the center.
In a separate bowl, add the melted butter to the cold buttermilk (it will look chunky).
Pour that in the well, and then sprinkle the cheese & garlic into the bowl.
Mix with spoon or a rubber spatula until just moistened.
Drop by quarter cups onto a greased pan (I personally bake in a greased, heated cast iron skillet as it makes a nice crisp crust on the bottom) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
