5 Reviews of Digestive Biscuits

Chef's Note: I strongly recommend rolling the dough between sheets of wax paper instead of on a floured surface, because it is a somewhat dry dough and adding even the smallest amount of flour by rolling the dough in it might result in a dough that is a little too dry and crumbly.

Awesome, though it doesn't taste 'exactly' like the commercial stuff (McV, I know! I halved the recipe, and used level tablespoons of wheat germ (was that wise?!). The dough was a bit crumbly so I added an additional tablespoon of water to hold it together. I printed out this recipe without your review, Miller, so I did roll it out on a lightly floured surface, but in batches, because it was easier to work with. This made 23 biscuits, which I baked for 20 minutes. Thanks for this one... it's time consuming, but worth the effort!

I made this for my grandma's bday, who enjoys the LU brand digestive biscuits every morning. I used 2.5 cups whole wheat (I wasnt sure how much 11oz was, but according to most websites, that was the consensus), 4 rounded tbsp wheat germ, 1 stick butter (4oz) & followed the rest of the recipe. I rolled them out between wax paper, which was pretty simple to do. Texture and taste were great, only thing is that I wish I had made them a bit thinner, so my only advice is really try for 1/8"!

I happen to have some Harrod's digestive biscuits and these are not the same. They also were tough and tasteless. The recipe required more water to even get to gather up into a ball to roll. Something is very wrong with this recipe.

These taste good with jam, but they do not resemble in any way any of the digestives we ever ate in England. We followed the recipe and preparation suggestions — though we could not roll the dough out between sheets of waxed paper as the dough was too wet and it simply adhered to the paper. What did we do wrong? The aroma that filled the kitchen whilst they were baking as wonderful, but none of it remained in the taste of the biscuit! Any suggestions? What might we have done wrong? --Richard Greene
