Digestive Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 170 g wholemeal flour
  • 170 g medium oatmeal
  • 150 g cold butter diced or grated
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 55 g dark muscovado sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • 150 g chocolate optional

Instructions

  1. Sift together the flour and oatmeal in a food processor or large mixing bowl, then rub in the butter until it looks a bit like breadcrumbs.
  2. Stir in the bicarb, sugar and salt, then add just enough milk to bring it together into a coherent dough that will hold together well. Flatten into a disc, wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 170C (fan) and line two baking trays with baking parchment. Roll the dough out between two sheets of clingfilm, or on a very lightly floured work surface, until about 4mm thick, then cut out your biscuits. Arrange, spaced out on the trays, and decorate with a fork, skewer or cocktail stick.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden (12 if you prefer them soft, 15 for a crisper finish), then cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to crisp up.
