Butter digestive biscuits

Description

Butter digestive biscuits have a golden, slightly grainy appearance and a pleasantly crumbly texture. They have a subtly buttery flavor, moderately sweet with a hint of whole grain flour, which gives a pleasant, slightly "earthy" aftertaste and mild saltiness that enhances their versatility. Nutritionally, they are a source of carbohydrates and energy, containing a moderate amount of fat (often butter) and small amounts of protein and fiber, especially if made with whole grain flour; they also provide trace amounts of B vitamins and minerals. They are used as an accompaniment to tea and coffee, as a base for crumbles in cheesecakes and tarts, for cold desserts, and as a snack with spreads or fruits. They should be stored tightly closed in a dry, cool place, away from moisture; once opened, it's best to use them within a few weeks or freeze them for longer freshness.
