Ted Lasso's "Biscuits with the Boss" Recipe
These biscuits are a version of Scottish shortbread that are easy to make with ingredients you're sure to have on hand! There are a gazilion versions of shortbread recipes, but this is my tried and true. Eat as they are, or use as a base for bar or pie cookies! Best of course with coffee, or hot brown water ;).
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C all-purpose flour
- 1/2 C almond flour
- 1 C unsalted butter, vegan butter or ghee* (2 sticks)
- 1/2 C sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt** fine
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp citrus zest (optional) orange or meyer lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line a 9x9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper OR spray with non-stick of choice OR butter the dish. Set aside.
- Add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar and salt to your food processor. Pulse to combine.
- Add the cubed butter, vanilla and zest (if using) to the flour mixture. Pulse until it resembles coarse sand.
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Using your hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish (food prep gloves or plastic wrap over top makes this easier!).
- Using a fork, place holes all over the surface of the dough.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are at least a bit golden (if you like a firmer biscuit, bake until the bottom is golden as well).
- Remove from the oven and place the dish on a cooling rack.
- Cool for 10 minutes, then using a very sharp knife, cut biscuits to desired shape/size (don't remove). Leave to cool completely before removing from the dish (fridge time can speed this up!).
Notes
*If you're using ghee, make sure to refrigerate it ahead of time. I find it helpful to measure out the cups' worth and THEN refrigerate it.
**You can use salted butter for this recipe, just make sure to omit the additional salt. However I've found that unsalted butter works best.
