The Baking Podcast EP 4: The Delicious and Elusive Digestive Biscuit

Melody and Taunya are beginning to recover from the Holiday season,  and exhaustion is still quite evident. Taunya mistakenly calls this episode 3, but we decided to keep it as a testament to our exhaustion.  We start off with a little literal potty humor (sorry about that). For those that would like to know more about the fascinating Thomas Crapper, here is is wikipedia page.  In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapperthis episode we discuss the digestive biscuit, a common item in the U.K. but now real known in the states--the sisters want to put a little spotlight on this delicious and healthy biscuit. The first item Taunya introduces is a graham cracker recipe. The graham cracker is the closest Americans have to the digestive biscuit. This recipe comes from King Arthur flour.  TAUNYA'S OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS: Double the amount of cinnamon if you wish. Substitute 1/2 of the white sugar with brown sugar. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/graham-crackers-recipe The second item that Taunya presents is a more traditional digestive biscuit from Jamie Oliver.  TAUNYA'S OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and grind the oats in a food processor or a seed mill.  http://www.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/homemade-digestive-biscuits/
