    Digestive Biscuits | Digestive Biscuits Recipe

    Ever since i bought a cookie press from home center, i wanted to use it in baking,. Finally i made digestive biscuits the other day and it turned out perfect.

    I followed biggerbolderbaking.com for this recipe and it turned out yummy. The biscuits were crispy and buttery.

    Homemade Digestive Biscuits are the latest result of my efforts to replace store bought products with delicious, easy homemade versions. Crunchy, crumbly and with a satisfying wholemeal, buttery flavour, I think these are miles ahead of the packet versions. Not too sweet, they’re perfect for dunking in a cup of tea.

    First manufactured in 1892, McVitie's digestive is the best-selling biscuit in the UK. The digestive is ranked the fourth most popular biscuit for "dunking" into tea among the British public, with the chocolate digestive coming in at number one.

    In 1839, digestives were developed in the United Kingdom by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion.

    What is Digestive Biscuits?

    A digestive biscuit, sometimes described as a sweet-meal biscuit, is a semi-sweet biscuit that originated in Scotland, and is popular worldwide. The term "digestive" is derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of sodium bicarbonate when they were first developed.

    Frequently Asked Questions?

    Are they healthy?

    A digestive biscuit typically consists of a minimum of 50 calories. They are the not a healthy choice if you are in a weight loss journey. Since it has butter and sugar added in them. But if you are looking for a healthier cookies then this cookies is good because it is made with whole wheat flour.

    What are they made of?

    The typical digestive biscuit contains coarse brown wheat flour (which gives it its distinctive texture and flavour), sugar, malt extract, vegetable oil, wholemeal, raising agents (usually sodium bicarbonate, tartaric acid and malic acid) and salt.

    What Can I Make with it?

    Digestive biscuits can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or milk. But you can use this to create a base for cheesecake by powdering it as well.

    How to Store it?

    My Digestive Biscuits will last for 3-4 days. To keep them fresh, just cover and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
