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…

Two ordinary digestive biscuits on a wooden worktop, one with a piece snapped off

Using a simple plain biscuit recipe and ingredients

Ingredients gathered on a kitchen worktop: block of Anchor butter, an egg and bagged flour

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.

Crumbly wholemeal biscuit dough being mixed with a spoon in a white bowl

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.

Raw dough rolled into a large circle on a baking tray, lettering and dock holes pressed in

In the oven for 15 minutes and hey presto, our giant was born
