Hello, the question may seem stupid, please tell me, the ingredients of the cream do not indicate what percentage the cream should be, 33%? If 33%, do you still need a thickener?

I made biscuits in a slow cooker, since there is no stove (oven). Apparently due to the rather wide multicooker bowl, the biscuits turned out to look like plates. The consistency is too dense and not suitable for cake at all. It's time to save up for a paracom.
