Milk Chocolate Digestive Biscuits

How to make your very own milk chocolate digestive biscuits at home, quick n easy step by step guide from start to finish.

1

Preheat your oven to 170°C / 340°F / Gas Mark 3.

2

Add the flours, Sugar, Baking powder and salt into a large Bowl.

3

Using your fingers, rub in the cold butter until it resembles fine or sandy breadcrumbs.

4

Add the milk and bring it all together into a dough.

5

On a floured surface roll out the dough into a thin sheet, 3 to 5mm / ⅛” to ¼in thick.

6

Cut out as many 70mm / 2¾in circles as you can, then re-roll and cut any scraps you have left.

7

Evenly space out the biscuits on a parchment lined baking tray/ cookie sheet.

8

Pierce a few holes in each biscuit using a cocktail stick, for aesthetic reasons try to form the holes into a good tidy pattern.

9

Get them into the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 to minutes.

10

Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

11

Take 100g of your milk chocolate chips and heat it gradually to 45°C / 112°F in your microwave, do this a few seconds at a time.

12

Once it’s up to temperature add the other 50g of cold chocolate chips and fold them in, keep folding until the cold chips have melted in.

13

Keep stirring with a spatula until the temperature has reduced to 28°C / 82°F, this will take a few minutes. (your chocolate has now been tempered and ready to use).

14

Coat one side of the biscuits with chocolate (see the video) then refrigerate until set.

15

Enjoy.
