Tea biscuits are a type of soft, buttery baked good commonly enjoyed in British cuisine and often served alongside tea. Typically made with basic ingredients such as flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, and milk, they are lightly sweetened and have a tender, crumbly texture. Variations may include added flavorings like vanilla or citrus zest. While they can provide a quick source of energy due to their carbohydrate content, tea biscuits are generally high in refined sugars and fats, particularly when enriched with butter. Their low fiber and protein levels mean they do not offer sustained satiety. However, in moderation, they can be a delightful treat when paired with healthier accompaniments like fresh fruit or herbal teas. Opting for whole-grain flour or lower-sugar recipes can improve their nutritional profile. Typically enjoyed during afternoon tea, they represent a comforting and classic element of British culinary traditions.
