Things You'll Need:
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 4 tbs. wheat germ
- 4 tbs. brown sugar
- 4 tbs. butter, softened to room temperature
- 4 tbs. milk
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Oil
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and oil 2 baking sheets.
-
Step 2
Mix the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl, and stir in the wheat germ.
-
Step 3
Place the softened butter and the sugar in a separate bowl and cream them together with an electric mixer until they're light and fluffy.
-
Step 4
Add the creamed mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the milk. The dough should be thick and sticky.
-
Step 5
Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it's smooth.
-
Step 6
Roll the dough until it's about 1/8-inch thin and cut it into circles with a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. Put each digestive biscuit on an oiled baking sheet and poke a few holes in the tops with a fork.
-
Step 7
Bake the digestive biscuits until they turn golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove them from the baking sheet and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Store them in a sealed container.
