Digestive Biscuit Recipe (makes approx 24 biscuits)
Ingredients200g rolled oats (plus extra for rolling out)
200g wholemeal flour
100g sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
150g butter plus extra for greasing or Coconut Oil
1 large egg beaten or 4 tbsp aquafaba
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C/170C fan.
Lightly grease two baking trays or line them with baking parchment.
- Take a large mixing bowl and add all the dry ingredients. Mix together.
- Dice the butter then rub it into the dry ingredients until you have a mixture that looks like breadcrumbs.
- Stir in enough of the beaten egg to make a soft dough, using your hands to bring the mixture together. You can add a splash of water if it's not quite coming together.
- Generously sprinkle the work surface with the excess oat flour, sprinkle more over the top then roll out 3mm thick.
- Using a round, 8cm cutter, cut out biscuits and transfer them to the greased baking trays.
Gather up the scraps, re-roll and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used up, dusting with more oat flour as needed.
Depending how thick you rolled the dough, you should get 20-24 biscuits.
- Prick holes into each biscuit in a pleasing pattern using a skewer or cocktail stick.
- Put the trays of biscuits in the preheated oven until cooked through and golden brown (15-20 min). Turn the trays around half way through if the biscuits are cooking unevenly.
Transfer biscuits to a wire rack until completely cold before storing in an airtight container.
