English Digestive Biscuits Recipe

English Digestive Biscuits are a traditional teatime treat that is both crunchy and sweet. Because they are made with wholemeal flour and oats, these biscuits are a healthier alternative to many other biscuits.

Ingredients

• 1/4 tsp salt
• 50g rolled oats
• wholemeal flour (225g)
• sugar content is 75g
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 100g butter (unsalted)

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and rolled oats in a large mixing bowl.
• Rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Add the milk and form the dough into a ball with your hands.
• Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut out the biscuits with a 2-inch round cutter, rerolling the scraps as needed.
