Einkorn Digestive Biscuit Recipe

Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment

Place the sugar and salt in a jug and add the boiling water, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved

Put the flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir to combine. Rub in the fat until you have a mixture that resembles very fine breadcrumbs

Add the prepared sugar and water solution and stir to make a soft dough. Cover and chill for 30 minutes

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the dough to the thickness of a pound coin

Press the biscuit cutter into the dough and gently lift each round of dough onto the lined baking tray

Gather together the offcuts and press them together to make another ball of dough. Roll the dough out again and cut out more biscuits

Prick each biscuit a few times with a fork then bake for 6–7 minutes, until lightly golden

Remove from the oven and allow to cool before storing in a tin
