This is my first converted recipe to be posted on the forum so please bare with me!
I searched online for TMX recipes for Digestive Biscuits but didn't come across any. If somebody has already converted I'm sorry for treading on toes! This recipe has been converted from a recipe I found on www.food.com submitted by SerenaWeber.
Place in TMX bowl
150g wholemeal plain flour
50g plain flour
25g wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarb
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
70g butter
70g brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
60g milk
Pinch of salt
Mix on speed 6/10 seconds.
Scrape down bowl and mix again speed 6/5 seconds.
Tip dough out, wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for 20 mins.
Roll out to 3-5mm thick and cut out biscuits using measuring cup. Place on lined baking tray and prick a few times with a fork. Bake in 180 degree oven for 15 mins.
Once cooked and cooled dip in melted chocolate.
Also lovely left plain and eaten with butter and/or cheese.
This mix made about 30 biscuits.
Hope you like it.
These biscuits are like a chocolate wheaten. It is not a very sweet biscuit so when they really need the chocolate covering or need to be used as a savoury biscuit for cheese. Digestive biscuits are what are used as a base in a cheesecake in UK. It'd be interesting to see, if left plain and crumbed, if these could be used the same. Might have to experiment.
Just after baking....

CC - Made these for Cookie's challenge. I only made 25+ the cooks one, mine must have been slightly thicker. I rolled the dough between two pieces of baking paper as my dough was sticky. Cooked them @ 160oC fan oven.
As Brumington said they aren't a sweet biscuit so probably need the chocolate coating to sweeten them.
MJ - digestive biscuits are similar to Graham Crackers.
Gert - Digestive biscuits have the same flavour as graham cracker but not the texture. I wonder if it is the wheat germ that gives it that flavour? This is Martha Stewarts recipe
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for working
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup untoasted wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons high-quality honey

Awesome work Brumington! Great looking biscuits. I will be making them this week :D
BTW, don't worry if there is already a recipe for something and you convert another one. We like to try different ways, so please do post!! ;D
-
Wow Brumington they look really good. Might have to make some too.
-
They look fantastic :)
-
They looks great Brumington, almost like chocolate wheaten biscuits.
-
OMG don't those look delicious 8) Lovely first conversion Brumington :)

Thank you for your words of encouragement. JD they are like a chocolate wheaten. It is not a very sweet biscuit so when they really need the chocolate covering or need to be used as a savoury biscuit for cheese. Digestive biscuits are what are used as a base in a cheesecake in UK. It'd be interesting to see, if left plain and crumbed, if these could be used the same. Might have to experiment.

Without the chocolate, you can also eat the uk version with cheese :)
I am going to make these :)

I've never had a Graham Cracker so I'd really have no idea. Digestives are very similar to a Granita but not as sweet.
-
Yum, these are one my list to make at the weekend.
-
Oh lovely!
Yes, digestive biscuits are similar to Graham Crackers (from all my research - cause I adore s'mores)
Thanks for the recipe conversion!

Great biscuits CC.

I am thinking you could just use the mixture as a base for cheesecake. Glad you found that recipe CCMV.
