Traditionally, malt extract gives digestives their distinctive flavour. For this recipe I’ve used rye flour – it’s nutty, savoury and gives the biscuits a satisfying snap.

Ingredients

240g dark rye flour, plus extra for rolling
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
200g golden icing sugar
100g unsalted butter, at room temperature
90ml double cream (approx. 75-90ml)
250g milk chocolate
Flaky sea salt, to sprinkle 0

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 ̊C, gas mark 4. Line 2-3 large baking trays with baking parchment. Put the flour, baking powder, salt, icing sugar and butter in a large bowl, mixing with a fork (or a food processor) to create a sandy texture. Mix in 75ml cream until it starts to come together; you may need an extra 15ml if it’s dry. Knead brie y to a rough dough; don’t overmix.
Liberally pour the worktop and roll the dough out to a thickness of 0.4cm. Using a 7cm cutter, stamp out rounds and place on the prepared trays, about 4cm apart; re-roll any trimmings to create about 24 biscuits. Use a bamboo skewer or fork to make deep indentations in the biscuits. Chill for 20 minutes.
Bake from chilled, in batches, for 20 minutes, until golden. Leave on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
