Now, digestive biscuits are.... what seems to be the most crucial ingredient in cheesecake recipes - the cheesecake's base!! And currently, Moscow, Russia doesn't seem to stock up on digestive biscuits... Or maybe they do, at Marks & Spencers? Not entirely sure.. but that most definitely won't fit into my student's budget....
So, found "Digestive quest" via google and tried the recipe out...
Recipe after the jump!
Here's my modification to her awesome recipe with whatever ingredients I'd managed to get my hands on, here in good ol' Moscow.
Btw, I like to separate(label? classify?) these ingredients according to the stages of prep. Just a thing I like to do, since it's just easier that way for me....
Adapted from Sylvana's "Digestive quest"
"Dry" ingredients "A"
1 cup wheat flour (пшеничная мука)
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp cream of tartar
1 cup Oats (I used овсяная с молоком / Quick cooking oats)
4 - 5 tbsp brown sugar
"Liquid" ingredients "B"
75 - 100 g butter (melted - over stove/ 20-30s in microwave)
½ tsp vanilla essence (liquid form - NOT available in Moscow, Russia)
3 - 4 tbsp cream - 22% (@ 2 tbsp cream 35% + 2 tbsp water)
This makes 12 - 15 pcs of biscuits (5 cm diameter, 3-4 mm height)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350F)
- Mix dry ingredients "A" together in a bowl
- In another bowl, mix all the liquids "B". Make sure the butter's properly melted.
- Add "B" to "A". Mix til uniform (a dough will form)
- If the dough is too "soft" refrigerate/freeze for few minutes.
- Roll dough out (easiest is between 2 pieces of baking paper) to about 3-4 mm thick.
- Cut out the desired shape (mine was round - 5 cm diameter)
- Bake for 10 - 15 minutes. (depending on how hot your oven is)
I like the taste of this cookie, but I've got a feeling that this can be improved even more. Will experiment more and edit as I find better tips.
