Chocolate Digestives

Makes 8

Ingredients:

100g wholemeal flour

60g oatmeal

¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

75g butter, cubed

30g light brown sugar

1-2 tablespoons milk

200g Belgium Milk Chocolate broken into squares

2 teaspoon vegetable oil

5cm round cutter

Method:

1. Put the flour, oatmeal and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl. Rub in the butter to form crumbs. Add the sugar and just enough milk so that the mixture sticks together. Wrap in clingfilm. Chill for 20 minutes.

2. Roll out the dough on lightly floured baking parchment. Stamp out 10 rounds with the cutter. Spread out on parchment-lined baking sheets and chill for 15 minutes.

3. Heat the oven to 160C/Gas 3. Bake the biscuits for 12 minutes until firm and beginning to brown. Cool on wire rack.

4. Melt the chocolate with the oil in a heatproof bowl, resting over a pan of simmering water. Spoon the chocolate on top of the biscuits to cover. Leave for a few minutes to firm up slightly then draw several lines in the chocolate with a cocktail stick and drag the cocktail stick through the lines to create a gentle feathered pattern.

NOTES:

I used white flour as I didn’t have any wholemeal, used a fairly cheap supermarket own brand chocolate and used olive oil as I didn’t have any vegetable oil. I rolled the dough on my kitchen side and didn’t bother rolling out on parchment paper, it’s a waste of paper, I lined the trays with parchment though to cook them on. I used the tip of a knife to make the feathered markings on the chocolate as I didn’t have any cocktail sticks (you don’t need to use cocktail sticks for this and also you’d then throw them away which is a waste).

Hi Zest

I'm sure you won't be disappointed and there's not a lot of sugar either and you could use dark chocolate on the top.

Take care.
