Digestive Biscuits

 

8 oz/200g Wholemeal flour

2oz/50g soft brown sugar

5oz/125g butter

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tablespoon milk

 

Pre heat oven to 180C/350F/Mk4 and lightly grease a baking sheet.

 

Mix all dry ingredients and then rub in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add enough milk to make a moist pastry consistency.

 

Refrigerate for 15 mins.

 

This dough is fairly delicate so roll out between sheets of baking parchment or cling film until 3mm thick. Cut into discs - reroll any trimmings.

 

Mark with a fork (or a meat tenderiser - which is what I use)

 

Bake for 15-20 mins until lightly browned and firm to the touch.

 

Remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

 

Store in an airtight container.

 

You could cover them with melted chocolate.............. :wink:

Yes, thanks Lesley

 

I shall have to try these out for Harry. He is the chief taster for biscuits. He absolutely loves the oat cookies. I will try a batch of these to add a bit of variety.
