Do digestive biscuits have carbohydrates in them?

Answer 1

Well, depends on which digestive biscuits. If they're the chocolate ones, you can bet. Carbohydrates=sugars. You can look on the package and see if they contain any sugars. That would include fructose, dextrose (=glucose) or anything else ending in -ose.

Answer 2

Generally, no. Most cookie recipes use either baking soda or baking powder as the leavening agent. Toll House cookies, for example, use baking soda. Some cookies, such as madeleines, use no chemical, but rely on eggs or the air beaten into them to provide leavening. And a very few recipes, like Mexican wedding cookies, use no leavening at all, resulting in a solid, dense cookie. (I grew up referring to Mexican wedding cookies as Russian tea cakes-they're delicious no matter what you call them!)

Answer 3

The pastries that are called biscuits in the U.S. do not contain yeast, but are made with baking powder as leavening. A variation is Buttermilk Biscuits, which is made with Buttermilk or sour milk and baking soda. The small sweet pastries called cookies in the U.S. or sweet biscuits in Britain may be made with either baking soda or baking powder, or no leavening at all (in Shortbread) but again, they do not contain yeast.

Answer 4

Depends on the biscut.
