The Intolerant Digestive Biscuit

Well Saturday comes round so quickly, so here we are again with a take and mutilation of a recipe at its very best.

Digestive Biscuits, the UK stable ‘Wholewheat ‘ Biscuit. How on earth can you possibly replicate something’ that doesn’t occur on a double whammy level Gluten Free wise both, in flavour and texture, as in this iconic biscuit.

There is no doubt that this is a biscuit, so back off over the pond, call it a cracker and I will personally set The Cauldron Magic on you 😂😂😂

These Biscuits are based on a recipe by The Old Sliver Fox himself Paul Hollywood. I was going to give you a link to it but would rather look at him 😍😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜

Commercial Gluten Free Digestives in my humble opinion are rank, sawdust in a mouth full. Once you’ve made these you will never be tempted to buy another packet………….and they are so much cheaper.

You can freeze these and hence the reason I’m rolling them out. You have your crumb base for cheesecakes and tarts at you disposal then, so its a great prep ahead bake, double the recipe and get stocked up.

This is one of the very first recipes I ever developed and I’m still to this day extremely proud of it.

Now I don’t usually deal in ‘whacky flours’ but for this you need a couple of items, so get your Amazon basket at the ready. You need Soya Flour and Tiger-nut Flour

The first is self explanatory the second well let me explain…….

THIS IS NOT A NUT ………..its a tuber

Here’s a link means I don’t have to explain, saves my typing 😂🙊

Now the other thing when you are ordering this, please make sure you get food grade Tiger-nut flour as the other option is CARP BAIT , as in fish food 😂😂 I done want you growing fins and scales, those scales are a devil to vacuum up off the carpet .

Here’s a UK link ( don’t worry I’m not making any money, I’ve not enough Blog traffic)

Heres the US one, take your pick

There is no substitution for the flour on this bake, it is what it is for texture and taste, so don’t bother asking, the answer is NO 🙊….. yes you guessed I can be bossy 😜😜😜

Right lets get a waggle on I’m off on my holiday ( in about 4 hours ) 😂😂 no time to dawdle , I’ve given you the plain and the chocolate version 😍

Now don’t be put off with the ‘brown biscuit’ these are a ‘ Gateway Biscuit ‘ to the UK 😂😂 forget your Grahams Crackers, you can be upgraded 🙊🙈
