Ted Lasso Biscuits 

Ted Lasso’s biscuits—affectionately known as “biscuits with the boss”—have become iconic thanks to their buttery simplicity and British charm. Jessica Gavin’s version distills them into a melt-in-your-mouth shortbread made with just five ingredients: butter, sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla. These elegantly understated cookies offer warm comfort in every bite and pair perfectly with tea. They're rich, flaky, and tender—no fuss, no frills, just pure delight you can bake and share in about an hour. 

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (65–67 °F)
  
  

• 2/3 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• ¾ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  
  

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C). Line an 8×8‑inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
   
   

2. Cream together softened butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy (~2 minutes).
   
   

3. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add flour until the dough appears crumbly but holds together. Do not overmix.
   
   

4. Transfer dough to the prepared pan. Lightly press down (use plastic wrap and a spatula for an even surface). Use a fork to dock or prick the dough (~36 times) to prevent bubbling.
   
   

5. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes or freeze for up to 15 minutes until firm.
   
   

6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the surface is pale golden and set.
   
   

7. While hot, slice the biscuits into rectangles (about 1″ thick). Optionally sprinkle granulated sugar over the warm surface to adhere. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
