Servings: 12 biscuits
Calories: 189kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour 283g
- 2 teaspoon sugar 11g
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 5g
- ½ teaspoon salt 4g
- 1 ½ cup heavy or whipping cream 350 ml
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 425°F. It needs to be in the right temperature as soon as you finish shaping the biscuits. My oven takes about 15 to 20 minutes to preheat at that temperature.
- In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
Add COLD heavy cream and mix to incorporate. Knead just until dough has formed. I usually add ¾ of the total amount of heavy cream, and if the dough is too crumbly, I add the rest. - In a clean surface, open the dough, gently flattening it with your fingers. No need for a rolling pin. If the dough is sticking to the surface, flour it.
- Using a round cutter or glass, cut the opened dough. Watch the video to see how thick I open the dough. Gather the scraps and open the dough again, cutting more biscuits. Repeat until no dough is left.
- Place shaped biscuits into a lined baking sheet, and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Remove tea biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Use COLD heavy/whipping cream.
Tea biscuits need to be baked as soon as shaped. If the oven is still not hot enough, place them inside the fridge while waiting.
Its essential to preheat the oven for this recipe. Temperature needs to reach 425°F before placing shaped biscuits inside.
If you don't have anything round to use as a cutter, pat the dough open and use a knife to cut it into squares. They will be as good as the round ones.
Cutting open dough with a knife might be easier is you're a beginner. That way you avoid overworking the dough.
