Notes

  • Digestive biscuits are always made with whole wheat flour. For a heartier taste, use stone ground whole wheat flour and for a more delicate biscuit, try white whole wheat flour. For more information about whole wheat flour, see this article.
  • In Ireland and Europe, coarse-ground flour is easily accessible and used for graham crackers. But in America, the common option is fine ground, which will also work well.
  • You can use a food processor to make this dough: pulse the dry ingredients to mix, pulse in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then pulse in the milk until large clumps form. Press together into a ball, then roll and cut.
  • Work quickly when making this dough so the butter stays cold. If the dough seems soft and difficult to work with, refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling.
  • These biscuits can be used in place of graham crackers not only to make a Cookie Crust, but also to make Homemade S’mores!
  • Make Chocolate Digestive Biscuits by spreading some Tempered Chocolate onto the baked biscuits once they are cooled.
