2. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse the food processor a few times to mix the dry ingredients.
3. Add the softened butter and vanilla.
4. Turn on the food processor and watch the dough go from sand-like to a dough. Open the bowl and scrape the sides down at least once to make sure butter isn't collecting and that the mixture is mixed through. When you can pinch the dough in your palm and it holds its shape, it's ready.
5. In an 8x8 or 9x9 square pan, smear the bottom with the butter wrapper or a little pan spray to make it stick to the parchment paper, holding it securely.
6. Place a square of parchment paper down so that the Ted lasso biscuits can be lifted out smoothly after baking. The parchment paper should be cut to the width of the pan, with overlap on two sides to use as handles to lift the cookies out. (See my video if you are confused.)
7. Pour the dough into the square pan, pressing down to create a smooth surface. We like to use a drinking glass to press the dough into the corners and achieve a smooth top.
8. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
9. Remove the golden brown biscuits from the pan by lifting on the parchment paper handles, and let cool fully.
10. When cool, with a sharp knife cut the square in half, then cut those halves into bars. Package in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Try your Ted Lasso's biscuits with a hot cup of tea with sugar and a splash of milk just like Rebecca enjoys them on the hit apple tv show!
Notes
We've doubled this recipe and used a 9x13 pan for a big batch of buttery shortbread and it turned out great.
