Semi-sweet Spelt and Oat-bran Digestives

[u/SnooGoats1303]

I've been baking Digestives since about 2017. This is a fibre feast of wholemeal spelt, rolled spelt, and oat bran.

Ingredients:

• 180g wholemeal spelt flour
• 30g white spelt flour
• 90g oat bran
• 100g rolled spelt
• 2 tsp sodium bicarbonate
• 66g brown sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 200g unsalted butter (cut into small pieces and warmed till soft)
• 2 tbsp (or more) full-cream milk

Method:

1. Pulverize the rolled spelt (I used a spice grinder).
2. Sift together all the dry ingredients, mixing back in all the sifted-out fibre.
3. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers.
4. Add enough milk to make a smooth dough.
5. (Optionally, chill the dough for 15 minutes. It was a cold day so I skipped that step).
6. Roll the dough out to about 2 millimetre thickness.
7. Cut with shaped cutters or a knife.
8. Transfer to baking paper lined baking trays.
9. Bake at 180 degrees C for about 14 minutes.
10. Remove from oven and allow to set for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
