Digestive Biscuits

This ‘cookie’ is kind of like a sweet cracker. Crunchy but with a little chew. It begs to be eaten with tea.   It’s not that sweet.  It’s a great way to end a meal.


Digestive Biscuits

8 ounces or 2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt\
3 ounces confectioners sugar
4 ounces butter, cold
2 ounces or a 1/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350°  Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment or grease.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and confectioners sugar. Work in cold butter with a pastry blender, fork or your fingers until dough starts to come together. If it seems to dry add a teaspoon more of milk. Knead briefly. Roll out with floured rolling pin on a floured surface. Cut into rounds and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Poke wholes if you like in biscuit if you like. I did with some of mine.   Bake fo 15 to 18 minutes. They will harden more as they dry.
