English Digestive Biscuits
If you've ever been to the UK, you've probably sampled McVitie's Digestive Biscuits (a.k.a. cookies in the US). I know that the name isn't very appealing, but the taste definitely is!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (3.55 ounces, 100 grams) old fashioned oats
- ¾ cup (3.55 ounces, 100 grams) whole wheat flour
- 3 Tablespoons (1.32 ounces, 38 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick, 100 grams) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 2 Tablespoons (1 ounce) milk
Instructions
- Process oats in food processor fitted with steel blade for 20 seconds, or until finely ground. Add whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt to the oats; pulse 10 times or until well combined. Add the butter; pulse 10 times or until about the size of corn meal. Add the milk, and pulse until the dough begins to come together, 10 to 15 times.
- Empty the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap; knead several times to form into a disk. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C).
- Place half of the dough on a piece of parchment paper that has been lightly dusted with flour. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and roll to a thickness of ⅛-inch (3mm). Cut into 2-inch disks, re-rolling any trimmings. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned and firm to the touch. Remove from oven; cool completely on wire rack. Yield 24 to 30 biscuits.
