These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- Made on a Sunday from things grabbed from the cupboards, so the cost was free. A simple plain biscuit recipe was used: butter and sugar melted together, with brown sugar in place of white for the digestive glow, then the flour mixed in and the egg, which was nearly forgotten. The dough was squished together in a bowl with the larger pair of hands available, plonked onto a tray, rolled out and marked with a knife, which cut too thin, then with its other end and a spoon until it looked right; 15 minutes in the oven, with no temperature given, and the giant digestive was born.

The original account
Inspired by the joys of the pimp that snack website we decided that Sunday just wasn’t yet complete and set about with our project- digestive biscuits. The cost was…FREE (being that we just grabbed stuff from the cupboards… J)
After Nathan stopped eating them we could get a design idea…
Using a simple plain biscuit recipe and ingredients
we melted up butter and sugar…Which I must add I CLEVERLY used BROWN sugar instead of the average WHITE (urgh…) to give that unmatchable digestive glow.
Then We just mixed in the Flour and hey presto…oh and the egg…can’t forget the egg.
We squished it all into a bowl…using Nathans (larger than mine) Hands and plonked it onto a tray…rolled it out and got busy with a knife. Only this was too thin so then with the other end…and a spoon…but then we got it right.
In the oven for 15 minutes and hey presto, our giant was born
