Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to 65 to 67ºF (18 to 19ºC)
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, or sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by positioning the oven rack centrally and heating to 325ºF. Meticulously line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring a generous overhang on each side for easy removal.
- Craft the dough by combining butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt using a mixer. Blend on low speed initially, then transition to medium, whipping until the mixture achieves a light, creamy consistency. Pause to scrape down bowl sides, ensuring even incorporation.
- Gently transfer the dough into the prepared pan, delicately pressing and distributing it to create an even layer. Utilize plastic wrap and a spatula to smooth the surface, achieving a uniform thickness.
- Create precise fork punctures across the dough’s surface, approximately 36 evenly spaced indentations. Refrigerate the pan for half an hour, allowing the dough to firm and develop optimal texture.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven, monitoring until the edges and surface transform into a rich golden-brown color, typically requiring 30-35 minutes of baking.
- Once removed from the oven, allow a brief 5-minute cooling period on a wire rack. While still warm, confidently slice the biscuits into rectangular portions. Optional: sprinkle granulated sugar over the surface for added sweetness.
- Permit the biscuits to cool completely within the pan. Carefully extract them using the parchment paper overhang, re-cutting separation lines if necessary. For an authentic Ted Lasso presentation, transfer to a charming pink pastry box.
Notes
- Butter matters immensely – use high-quality unsalted butter at room temperature for the richest, most authentic Ted Lasso biscuit flavor.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and ensures a perfectly crisp, delicate texture that melts in your mouth.
- Precision in pricking creates signature shortbread look and helps bake evenly, preventing uneven rising during baking.
- Cutting while warm prevents crumbling and allows clean, sharp edges that maintain the classic rectangular shape.
- Storing these biscuits in an airtight container keeps them fresh for up to 5 days, maintaining their delightful buttery crunch.
- Serving suggestion: Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee, just like Rebecca does in the show for the ultimate Ted Lasso experience.
