Do you have a craving for something sweet, perhaps a biscuit to break your appetite, but don’t want to indulge in a sin of gluttony? The answer is gluten-free Digestives, a mouth-watering solution, sweet to the point and, above all, without too much guilt.

In fact, this version of Digestive contains much less butter and much less sugar than the original recipe, so it will also be perfectly suited to accompany some blue cheese or a piece of Stilton.

What else? Have fun and watch the video to see how to prepare them step by step.
