Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and position a rack in the center.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces remaining.

Stir in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and shredded cheddar until a soft dough forms. Mix just until combined.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4–6 times. Pat or roll to about 1-inch thickness.

Use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut rounds, pressing straight down. Gather scraps and press lightly to cut more biscuits.

Place biscuits close together on a baking sheet for taller, softer sides, or spaced apart for crisper edges.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown on top.

Serve warm with a side of au jus for dunking.
