Served with cheese, apple mostarda and mulled plum cheese

The humble digestive biscuit may be seen as a bit of an underdog in the world of cheese and biscuits but this version in particular is fighting back!

 I love them with a slice of cheese on top but they're also delicious dunked in a cup of tea or dipped and coated in chocolate.

This recipe in particular is part of my Edible Gifts Series, Episode 5 of which i've shared across my socials. 

I used my Kenwood Cooking Chef XL Mixer to make these. You can use my promo code CHEFJOE50 to purchase it and get 2 additional free attachments of your choice and free cake decorating set.

Digestive Biscuit Recipe (makes approx 24 biscuits)

Ingredients

200g rolled oats  (plus extra for rolling out) 

200g wholemeal flour

100g sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

150g butter plus extra for greasing or Coconut Oil

1 large egg beaten or 4 tbsp aquafaba


Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/170C fan.
    Lightly grease two baking trays or line them with baking parchment.
  2. Take a large mixing bowl and add all the dry ingredients. Mix together.
  3. Dice the butter then rub it into the dry ingredients until you have a mixture that looks like breadcrumbs.
  4. Stir in enough of the beaten egg to make a soft dough, using your hands to bring the mixture together. You can add a splash of water if it's not quite coming together.
  5. Generously sprinkle the work surface with the excess oat flour, sprinkle more over the top then roll out 3mm thick.
  6. Using a round, 8cm cutter, cut out biscuits and transfer them to the greased baking trays.
    Gather up the scraps, re-roll and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used up, dusting with more oat flour as needed.
    Depending how thick you rolled the dough, you should get 20-24 biscuits.
  7. Prick holes into each biscuit in a pleasing pattern using a skewer or cocktail stick.
  8. Put the trays of biscuits in the preheated oven until cooked through and golden brown (15-20 min). Turn the trays around half way through if the biscuits are cooking unevenly.
    Transfer biscuits to a wire rack until completely cold before storing in an airtight container.

    After a very relaxing and enjoyable trip to Bath i stumbled across this recipe in the medical museum. I've enjoyed the shop bought version before but never thought to make them.

    Apple Mostarda

    I've made many versions of this sweet, tangy mustard spiced condiment without really knowing what it was. Apple Mostarda! this is the Italian version that can be served with cheese and cold meats.
