Homemade digestive biscuits. Digestive biscuits are used in a similar way as graham crackers in the U. They are best described as a whole wheat shortbread, and are crisp like shortbread and equally as buttery. Biscuits in Ireland are not the same as the soft American biscuits, they are a cookie. However, cookies can be soft and chewy whereas biscuits are mostly crisp and. The recipe below comes from my first ever book Bee's Brilliant Biscuits.
Crunchy, crumbly and with a satisfying wholemeal, oaty flavour, I think these are miles ahead of the packet versions.
They may not be the most exotic biscuits in the world but there's nothing quite like the semi-sweet, slightly salty whole wheat flavour of a good ol' digestive.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.

I spent a summer in the UK a few years back and practically lived off McVities Digestive Biscuits.
