The biscuits that stole the show: Recreate Ted Lasso’s iconic sweet treat at home

If you’ve found yourself rewatching Ted Lasso and loving it even more the second time around, you’re not alone. Somewhere between the optimism, the one-liners and the unexpected life lessons, there’s another quiet star of the show: those little pink-boxed biscuits. What starts as a simple peace offering from Ted to Rebecca quickly becomes a ritual – a daily act of kindness that slowly breaks down walls. They’re buttery, crumbly, and deceptively simple … just like Ted’s philosophy on life. The best part? You can bring a little of that warmth into your own kitchen.

Ted Lasso Biscuit Recipe

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35–40 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Makes: 1 batch (slice into squares)

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

Coarse sugar, for topping (optional)

Method

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking tin with baking paper.

In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract and cold butter.

Pulse until the mixture comes together into a soft dough.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
