butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: spelt flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Spelt flour adds a nutty flavor while being a healthier alternative.

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, powdered sugar, and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients to break down any lumps of powdered sugar.

Add cold salted butter to the dry ingredients.

Using your hands or a pastry blender, mix the butter into the flour until it resembles lumpy breadcrumbs.

Pour a splash of milk into the mixture and combine until a dough forms, adjusting milk as necessary.

Flour your surface and roll out the dough to an eighth of an inch thick.

Use a stamp to imprint 'digestive biscuits' on the dough, then cut around the words.

Place the stamped and cut biscuits onto a baking sheet.

Use the back of a skewer to make markings on top of the biscuits.

Bake the biscuits at 350°F (180°C) for around 20 minutes until golden brown.
