Digestive biscuit
Used in 2 recipes on RecipeWiki.
Digestive biscuits are plain, lightly sweet biscuits made with wheat flour and wholemeal flour, with a crumbly texture and a gentle toasted flavour. They are crushed for the base of cheesecakes and chilled desserts, where their slight saltiness stops a creamy filling tasting flat. Crush them to fine crumbs, but leave a few coarse pieces if you want a more textured base. Melted butter binds them; too much makes the crust greasy rather than sliceable.
