HOMEMADE DIGESTIVE BISCUITS!
So lately I have been going through a total cookies baking phase. Actually to tell you the truth, if there is one thing I'm not so great at, it's baking cookies...even though at first they appear to be the easiest things to make, but from my experience they are the trickiest. Anyway, so I guess you can say I've been "practicing" a lot lately, and one successful experience I've recently had was making homemade DIGESTIVES!!! YES INDEED, I'm talking about making the very famous scrummy yummy totally addictive McVitie's Digestive biscuits from scratch! (and this makes me very excited as Digestives are probably my favourite cookies- euh I mean "biscuits"- in the whole wide world!!!) mmm by the way out of curiosity, are Digestives well known for you US readers? Or is it more of a UK/Europe and certain other parts of the world thing? I found the recipe while surfing the net- it's actually been featured on a couple of French food blogs, and I am guessing that everyone originally found it on famous food blogger, Pascale Weeks, entry right here. I don't know how on earth she got this recipe or came up with it, but I'm thankful she shared it with the world!!! And what a fab recipe it is- a real keeper! The result was fantastic and I am pretty certain I won't be buying storemade digestives anymore! First things first- weigh out the oats and grind them in a mixer After having mixed in all the ingredients, your dough is ready. And after a couple of minutes of baking, I present to you the Digestive biscuits in all their glory! Scrumptious! Have one! Recipe for Digestive biscuits (from Pascale Weeks) For 18 biscuits: 100gr wholegrain flour 100gr oats 1 teaspoon baking powder 50gr brown sugar 100gr salted butter, softened 2 tablespoons milk Preheat oven to 180C. Place oats in a mixer and grind until powdery texture is obtained. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then add the butter and mix until crumbly. Add the milk and mix dough so it is no longer crumbly but a bit more firm. Form a ball and place in fridge for 15 minutes. Then take out dough, spread out to 3mm thickness and cut out 6cm diameter circles. Bake for 15 minutes, take out and let cool. P.S: For some, the result may not be sweet enough- maybe increase the sugar to 80gr. P.P.S: When the recipe says place the dough in fridge for 15mins, it really means 15mins! I accidentally left mine in for an hour and it came out ROCK HARD. P.P.P.S: Next time I'll make these again but coat one side of the biscuit with chocolate. Can't wait to dunk those in a glass of milk! mmmmm!  related searches : Homemade
