Ingredients
1cup(227g)unsalted butter, softened to 65 to 67ºF (18 to 19ºC)
⅔cup(132g)granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1teaspoon(5ml)vanilla extract
¾teaspoon(5g)kosher salt, or sea salt
2cups(284g)all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the Oven - Set the oven rack to the middle position. Heat to 325ºF (165ºC). Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper with a 1-inch overhang on each side. Set aside.
Make the Dough - Using a stand or hand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt, on low speed to combine, then increase to medium speed. Mix until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour and mix on low until a hydrated and crumbly dough is formed. Do not overmix.
Form the Dough - Add the dough to the prepared baking pan. Lightly press it down until it evenly fills the pan. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top, and use the bottom of a spatula to flatten the surface.
Prick and Chill - Use a fork to lightly prick the surface of the dough, about 36 times, evenly spaced. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Alternatively, freeze for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Bake - Bake until the surface and edges are golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Cut - Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. While the biscuits are still hot, use a sharp knife to cut them into rectangles of desired size. Optionally, sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar while warm, about 1 tablespoon.
Cool - Let it cool completely in the pan. Carefully lift the biscuits out using the parchment paper overhang. Re-slice the lines if needed to separate them. Place them in a Pink Pastry Box for that Ted Lasso touch.
Notes
Butter Selection: Use unsalted Kerrygold Irish butter or European-style butter with at least 82% fat. Regular butter can be used but will be slightly less rich in flavor.
Using Salted Butter: Add only 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/8 teaspoon table salt.
Using Table Salt: Add 1/2 teaspoon instead of 3/4 teaspoon.
Measuring the Flour: Use the dip and sweep method. This will yield slightly more flour in the cup.
Make Ahead: The dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days before baking.
Storing: Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days. Freeze for up to 2 months, defrosting before eating.
