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

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

Thanks for that, Gert. I always wanted to try them!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
