Steps:

  • Pre heat oven to 355 degrees.
  • Mix flour, oats and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter, honey and water in a pan, once melted stir in the baking soda.
  • Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix until combined.
  • Roll into 1.5" balls.
  • Place it on a greased tray and flatten slightly with the bottom of a cup or other flat surface.
  • Bake for about 12 mins - they should be golden, not brown.
  • Allow them to cool completely on the cookie sheet.
  • *tip: if you bake them on greased tinfoil or the non stick kind, you can side them from the cookie sheet to a wire rack to cool faster.

DIGESTIVE BISCUITS

I spent a summer in the UK a few years back and practically lived off McVities Digestive Biscuits. Cheap and easy to find in the UK, fairly expensive and hard to find in the US, so I decided to make them myself. I was not able to find a recipe that tasted enough like them, so I made my own recipe. They have been really popular with other McVitie lovers. Hope you like them, too!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flours, bran, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar with a pastry blender. Mix in sugar with the pastry blender. Mix in fats with the pastry blender. The mix at this point should be crumbly and uniform. Mix the vanilla in the half-n-half and add to the mix. Mix with pastry blender until it is uniform and resembles really soft playdoh.
  • You can at this point refrigerate for 20 minutes to make the dough easier to handle, but it is not necessary. Be sure to roll out dough between two pieces of waxed paper! Roll to approximately 1/8" thickness. Cut into rounds with cookie cutter about 2 1/2 inches in diameter (I used the ring off one of my canning jars).
  • Transfer to cookie sheets or baking stone and prick with a fork. Bake 15 to 18 minutes (adjust the baking time up to dry them out more if the biscuits are too soft and fluffy), or until golden. Let cool on wire rack.
  • Optional: spread the backs of the cooled biscuits with melted semi-sweet chocolate (as in chips - almost everyone has these for chocolate chip cookies). Set the biscuits chocolate side up on the rack until chocolate hardens.
  • Store in an airtight tin -if storage is even necessary! They will go fast.

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup wheat bran
4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Crisco
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons half-and-half cream

  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth.
  • Roll out to a thickness of 1 1/8". Using a fork, prick all over.
  • Using a 1 1/2" round cookie cutter, cut rounds and place 1" apart on prepared pans.
  • Bake for 12-15 min, until the crust is golden brown.
  • transfer to wire racks to cool.

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup rolled oats

2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons milk

CRISPY DIGESTIVE BISCUITS

These are one of the most popular biscuits sold commercially in Britain. They are very delicate and, therefore, extremely difficult to reproduce exactly but this recipe is fairly close. The ORIGINAL recipe is posted, verbatim, below. However, please note that I used Pillsbury plain whole wheat flour (which I sifted) and I used 4 ROUNDED, not level, tablespoons of wheat germ. These minor modifications were made as a result of the (always) invaluable advice and information I received from fellow chefs in a Recipezaar discussion forum. Biscuits will be 2 1/2 inch diameter x 1/8 inch thick.

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup of the quick cooking oats until they are closer in texture to oat flour, but not completely broken down. This will probably be around 7-10 pulses. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the processed oats, the other 1/2 cup of oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed with an electric hand mixer until lighter in color and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the golden syrup and milk and mix until incorporated. Using a wooden spoon or a heavy-duty rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. It will take a bit of folding to come together. It will look really dry and crumbly but keep folding and it will come together!
  • Once it's combined (there may be a few stray crumbs in the bowl & that's fine!) scoop the cookie dough. I use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough, but you could also use heaping tablespoon. As you portion the dough, roll each piece quickly into a ball and place on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between the cookies. Once you've filled one cookie sheet with ten cookies, lightly flatten the cookies with your fingers until they are each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The edges might split a little as you do this because it's a dry dough. That's ok. You can press the edges back together if you want or just leave it if you can't be bothered.
