![]() I love the caramel flavor it imparts and have found it to also be delicious sprinkled on top of sugar cookies or snickerdoodlesbefore I bake them. I keep turbinado sugar on hand here at the farmhouse because it is my favorite sugar to use in my morning coffee. I used turbinado sugar, a coarse grained sugar (often referred to as raw sugar) that I have used before in my baking. It was time to make the third batch and up my ante with the sugar and incorporate a flavor powerhouse: brown butter. It was a step in the right direction, but the color wasn’t quite as golden as I wanted and the flavor was a bit flat. ![]() I used granulated sugar just like I do with my cake pans on the first batch. I couldn’t wait to try that same technique on the next batch of biscuits. The sugar adds a sparkly appearance to the surface of cake and a light crunch from the grains of sugar. I love the light flavor and pretty appearance that the sugar imparts to the exterior of the cake. When I make that cake, I prepare the baking pan with my homemade pan release spread and a dusting of granulated sugar. Making that cake gave me a delicious idea. Between those two baking sessions, I had made a Quick Buttermilk Cake. They were delicious and we didn’t let a single one go to waste, but they had room for improvement.Ī few days later, I decided to gather my ingredients and try again. When they came out of the oven I could see that I was off to a good start but that these wouldn’t be quite the biscuit I was hoping for. They looked promising going into the oven. ![]() Once I had a starting point, I baked up the first batch. I sat down with a few cookbooks and personal recipes and set about gathering ideas for these biscuits. As a person who likes the challenge of creating recipes, I wondered if I could create a recipe that was delicious and looked like the biscuits from the show. I won’t spoil the plot of the show for you, but English shortbread biscuits are nearly a cast member on the show in the loveliest way. See, he really does spread positivity wherever he goes even if it comes in the form of a buttery biscuit. I’ll also admit that we have Ted Lasso to thank for that. Instead, I’ll tell you that I have a delicious recipe for buttery shortbread biscuits to share with you. I won’t dwell on your need to watch this show if you haven’t already. That gives him an unfair advantage, but mostly I’m just grateful that I can watch this character come to life and have him share a bit of wisdom and positivity with me. He also has Jason Sudeikis to breathe life into him. Sure, he has the distinct advantage of being a fictional character with a team of witty writers behind him. Ted Lasso is better at all of that than I am. Luckily, I can try all over again the next day. Admitting that is part of the process of improving my success rate. I do my best to choose to be kind and positive each day, but I often fall short of my own goal. It was just the sort of story I needed during a time when it seemed harder to see the good around me. It was refreshing to see a good guy, a nice guy, inspire the people around him to follow his lead. I was taken by a show with so much heart. I was drawn in by the character’s positivity, his ability to see the good and the potential in everyone around him. You like him well enough but don’t expect to like him so much. ![]() He’s that guy you meet in some innocuous way. I didn’t expect to fall in love with Ted Lasso, but I did.
