And you can make them by doing this....
Chickenlady's Digger Biscuits

Makes approximately 20-25

175g Golden Caster Sugar
125g Self-Raising Wholemeal Flour
70g Rolled Oats
40g Desiccated Coconut (unsweetened)
140g Unsalted Butter
1 Tablespoon of Black Strap Molasses (I use Meridian Organic)
1 Teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Soda


Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, Gas 4 and line or butter two baking sheets.

Chuck all the ingredients into a food processor.

Whizz.

Take balls of the mixture (about the size of a ping-pong ball) and put them on the baking sheets.

Press down on each ball with the back of a fork to flatten them a bit.

Stick in the oven for 15 minutes or golden brown.

Cool on a rack.

Eat.




This recipe originally came from Sue Lawrence's Book of Baking but I altered it a bit.

I tend to make a couple of batches quite regularly and they disappear very quickly. They're very similar to Hobnobs but have less sugar and more good stuff like the molasses in them.
