Description

This Ted Lasso Biscuit Shortbread recipe offers a delightful homemade treat inspired by the beloved TV character’s favorite snack. Combining simple pantry ingredients, this shortbread is buttery, slightly sweetened with a touch of vanilla and almond extracts, and finished with a sprinkle of coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness. Perfect for pairing with a cup of tea or coffee, these biscuits are easy to make and guaranteed to please.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup high-quality unsalted butter, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the shortbread.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Extracts: In a separate bowl, use a mixer to cream the room temperature unsalted butter until smooth. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and continue mixing until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Avoid over-mixing to keep the texture tender.
  5. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it to bring it together. Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
  6. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter to cut biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  7. Add Coarse Sugar: Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with the 2 tablespoons of coarse sugar to add a sugary crunch once baked.
  8. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the shortbread biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve: Enjoy your homemade Ted Lasso inspired shortbread biscuits with tea, coffee, or milk.

Notes

  • Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
  • Coarse sugar on top adds a nice crunch; you can omit it if you prefer a smoother surface.
  • Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend.
