Digestive Biscuits (Eggless)

It makes nine regular biscuits.
Preparation time: 5’ minutes
Baking time: 15’ minutes

Digestive biscuits are ideal for a diet snack or to form the basis of cheesecakes. Up to now I never thought of baking them, but since I am on a diet now, I decided it is time to learn how to make them.

I discovered that:
1) they are extremely easy to make,
2) the ingredients are simple, you can find them anywhere, and
3) there are no eggs involved.

Below you will be able to find all the preparation steps. Try them, I am sure you will love every single bite :-)!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a large bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Mix in the oatmeal. 
Add the butter and sugar to the mixture, and mix well. 

Stir in the milk until mixture forms a thick paste.

Form the biscuits with the help of a cookie spoon.



Bake 15' to 18' minutes, or until golden.


Let cool on wire rack. Store in an airtight tin.

    These are stunning! I love homemade digestives (or graham crackers). They taste SO much better! Hubby would BEG that I make these daily for him so he can have them every night with tea!

    Oh you take me far back in my memories to my sweet grandmother's house in Port Elizabeth, South Africa - she always had digestive biscuits in her house.

    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup.

    Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
