It had been quite a loooong break.
Though my vacation ended as per schedule, my son was at home and he kept me busy all these
days. Also, summer was in peak, I
couldn’t spend much time in my workplace (kitchen). Convincing reasons ?
Now, I am Back…….! To start with “Digestive
Biscuit”. This is not a first time I am making Digestive Biscuit. Earlier, I
had a different recipe but, it’s not taste as same as the commercially
available Digestives Biscuits. But, you all know.....without chocolate..........
Trust me, this recipe is just
perfect one. its is very hard to find that, made at home! and I am happy to share the
same.
Digestive Biscuits are originated
from U.K. The term "digestive" is derived as these biscuit had antacid properties due to the
use of sodium bicarbonate. (An antacid
is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity). Hence,
those who suffer on acidity problem are advised by the Gastroenterologist to have a digestive biscuits in regular interval.
Ingredients : Whole meal flour - 1 ½ cup
; Oatmeal - 1 ½ cup ;
Diced cold butter - 150 gms ; Bicarbonate
of soda - 1/2 tsp ; Light brown sugar - 1/4 cup ;
Salt - ½ tsp
; Milk -3-4 tbsp ;
Chocolate (optional) – 100 gms
Procedure : Sift together
the flour and oatmeal in a Food processor, then rub in the butter until it
looks a bit like breadcrumbs. Now time
to add the bicarb, sugar and salt sift again and then add (just enough) milk to
bring it together into a coherent dough. Wrap the dough in Clingfilm and chill
for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 170°C and line
two baking trays with baking parchment. Roll the dough out on a very lightly
floured work surface, until about 4mm thick, and then cut out the biscuits in
preferred shape and arrange it in tray.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until
golden colour and crisper. Allow it to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before
transferring to a rack.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a
double boiler. Once the biscuits are
cool, coat the chocolate lavishly on one side of each biscuit and place it on
the rack to dry.
I am sure, you enjoy this “Real’’ Digestive Biscuit.
