CRISPY DIGESTIVE BISCUITS
These are one of the most popular biscuits sold commercially in Britain. They are very delicate and, therefore, extremely difficult to reproduce exactly but this recipe is fairly close. The ORIGINAL recipe is posted, verbatim, below. However, please note that I used Pillsbury plain whole wheat flour (which I sifted) and I used 4 ROUNDED, not level, tablespoons of wheat germ. These minor modifications were made as a result of the (always) invaluable advice and information I received from fellow chefs in a Recipezaar discussion forum. Biscuits will be 2 1/2 inch diameter x 1/8 inch thick.

Steps:
- Combine the dry ingredients, and then cut in the butter so that the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Combine the water and vanilla and drizzle over the dry mixture.
- Blend until the dough can be packed together.
- Roll out on a floured surface or between two sheets of waxed paper until the dough is about 3 mm (1/8 inch) thick.
- Cut into circles or other shapes and bake on a greased baking sheet at 170°C/ 325°F/ Gas Mark 3 for 20 to 25 minutes; make sure the oven does not get too hot- they should not be too brown.
- Cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Similar to the traditional British biscuits, these can also be served buttered or with cheese. For a sweeter biscuit, brush one side with melted semisweet chocolate after baking.

Our take on the British classic calls for a touch of brown sugar and a combination of whole-wheat and all-purpose flour, creating lightly sweet cookies with the perfect crunchy-tender texture. They make a wonderful addition to our Fruit Platter with Whipped Ricotta.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pulse flours, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar in a food processor to combine. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/4Â cup milk; process until a dough forms. (If too dry, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it holds together when squeezed.) Wrap dough in plastic; flatten into a disk. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.

Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Remove dough from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature until malleable but still firm, about 10 minutes. Roll out to a 9-by-10-inch rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick). Using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter, stamp out rounds. With the back of a knife, score tops in a crosshatch pattern. Whisk egg white with 1/2 teaspoon water; brush top of each biscuit with egg wash. Place biscuits 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets; bake until firm and dry in centers and slightly darkened, 24 to 26 minutes. Let cool completely.
DIGESTIVE BISCUITS
I spent a summer in the UK a few years back and practically lived off McVities Digestive Biscuits. Cheap and easy to find in the UK, fairly expensive and hard to find in the US, so I decided to make them myself. I was not able to find a recipe that tasted enough like them, so I made my own recipe. They have been really popular with other McVitie lovers. Hope you like them, too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flours, bran, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar with a pastry blender. Mix in sugar with the pastry blender. Mix in fats with the pastry blender. The mix at this point should be crumbly and uniform. Mix the vanilla in the half-n-half and add to the mix. Mix with pastry blender until it is uniform and resembles really soft playdoh.
- You can at this point refrigerate for 20 minutes to make the dough easier to handle, but it is not necessary. Be sure to roll out dough between two pieces of waxed paper! Roll to approximately 1/8" thickness. Cut into rounds with cookie cutter about 2 1/2 inches in diameter (I used the ring off one of my canning jars).
- Transfer to cookie sheets or baking stone and prick with a fork. Bake 15 to 18 minutes (adjust the baking time up to dry them out more if the biscuits are too soft and fluffy), or until golden. Let cool on wire rack.
- Optional: spread the backs of the cooled biscuits with melted semi-sweet chocolate (as in chips - almost everyone has these for chocolate chip cookies). Set the biscuits chocolate side up on the rack until chocolate hardens.
- Store in an airtight tin -if storage is even necessary! They will go fast.

Steps:
- Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Cut or rub in the butter with a pastry blender, two knives or your fingertips.
- Add the sugar and enough milk to make a stiff dough.
- Knead this mixture on a flour surface until smooth. All this can be done almost instantly in a food processor.
- If you have time, return the dough to your bowl, cover and chill for an hour. This resting time will make the biscuits more tender and crisp.
- After the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll out the dough until it is a bit more than 1/8 inch thick, and cut into any desired shape. Traditional digestives are about 2 1/2 inches round.
- Place on greased cookie sheets, prick evenly with a fork and bake until pale gold, about 15 to 20 minutes.
