Channel your inner Ted Lasso with these iconic shortbread-style biscuits! Buttery, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, they’re simple to make and perfect for pairing with a cup of tea (or coffee). Just like Ted says, “Be curious, not judgmental” about how many you eat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 300°F (150°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. If using vanilla extract, add it now.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
- Press Into Pan: Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to smooth the surface.
- Score the Dough: Use a knife to lightly score the dough into rectangles or squares, mimicking the classic “Ted Lasso biscuits” shape. This makes cutting easier after baking.
- Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Cut: Let the biscuits cool completely in the pan, then use the scored lines to cut them into pieces.
Tips for the Perfect Ted Lasso Biscuits
- Don’t overmix: Overworking the dough can make the biscuits tough.
- Chill for clean edges: Refrigerate the dough in the pan for 15 minutes before baking for sharper edges.
- Serve traditionally: Serve in a small pink box for the full Ted Lasso effect!
