Submitted by helend on June 27, 2007 - 12:25pm. Digestive BiscuitsI've ben practising this recipe for a while. I syill can't quite manage the same crumbly texture as the famous McVitie brand but getting closer ... They aren't that pretty to look at but taste good For approx 2 dozen biscuits:
Preheat oven to 150c. Sift dry ingredients together, rub in butter, stir in sugar, use minimum milk to make a dough. Roll out just under 1/4" thick, cut out with a 3" cutter, prick and bake on greased baking sheets for 18 minutes until just browning. Shift to a cooling rack asap. PS You can use about 10 oz of chocolate, melted to cover the tops.

Digesting biscuits
Helen, they look very like Scottish oatcakes, therefore they look beautiful to me. By fine oatmeal you mean something like we would call steel-cut oats in the States rather than a rolled oat, correct?

HELP! - oat question
umm .......
I don't know. Fine oatmeal to me looks like small rounded spheres of oat not flattened flakes (porridge oats).
Can anybody else help?

Technology to the rescue
Helen,
If it wouldn't be much of a bother, why not photograph the type of oats you used and post it so we can figure out the terminology? Maybe it's just whole oats finely ground...?

According to Wikipedia:
"In Scotland, oatmeal is created by grinding oats into a coarse powder. Various grades are available depending on the thoroughness of the grinding, including Coarse, Pin(head) and Fine oatmeal."
