Description
Chocolate Digestives are a classic British biscuit. They consist of a crunchy biscuit base topped with a layer of chocolate. Traditionally, Chocolate Digestives are made with plain flour, sugar, butter, and baking soda. The biscuit base is then topped with a layer of dark or milk chocolate. The combination of crunchy biscuit and smooth chocolate makes the Chocolate Digestive a delicious treat.
Ingredients
To make Chocolate Digestives, you will need the following ingredients:
- 250g plain flour
- 125g caster sugar
- 125g butter
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 150g dark or milk chocolate
Instructions
To make Chocolate Digestives, start by preheating your oven to 180°C. In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the baking soda and mix until everything is evenly combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5mm. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter and place them onto a greased baking tray. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once the biscuits are cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, spread the chocolate over the top of the biscuits. Leave to set before serving.
