Millet and Chocolate Shortbread Biscuits – Sicilian Ancient Grain Biscuits – Veg Sicilia

Millet meets chocolate in a recipe designed for those who appreciate breakfast biscuits made with distinctive ingredients and flavours. Veg Sicilia Millet and Chocolate Shortbread Biscuits combine a cereal such as millet with dark chocolate, in a dough prepared with wholemeal Maiorca soft wheat flour, type 2. The result is a biscuit in which the cereal notes complement the richer, more intense flavour of cocoa.

According to the manufacturer's declared recipe, the ingredients include Maiorca type 2 soft wheat flour, rice syrup, extra virgin olive oil, millet flour and chocolate. Millet flour accounts for 12% of the ingredients, while chocolate makes up 4%. The latter consists of 70% cocoa mass, cane sugar, low-fat cocoa powder and soy lecithin. These ingredients contribute to the product's distinctive character, bringing together the flavour of cereals and cocoa.

The Maiorca variety is identified by the manufacturer as the wheat base of the recipe: a type 2 wholemeal soft wheat flour associated with the range of Sicilian ancient grain biscuits. Alongside it, millet introduces a second cereal component, while chocolate adds a more intense and recognisable flavour. The recipe also includes rice syrup as a sweetening ingredient and extra virgin olive oil as its fat component. The official product page describes these biscuits as handmade, with a crisp and fragrant texture.

When it comes to serving, millet and chocolate biscuits are suitable for different moments throughout the day. At breakfast, they can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee, milk or a plant-based drink; in the afternoon, they make a pleasant snack alongside tea or herbal infusions. The cocoa flavour also pairs well with drinks featuring a more pronounced aromatic profile, while their cereal component makes them an interesting addition to a selection of dry pastries and biscuits.

They can be served on their own, arranged on a tray for sharing, or accompanied by a spread to create a small sweet tasting selection. They can also be crumbled over spoon desserts and used as a crunchy topping alongside a cream or other soft-textured preparation.

With these chocolate shortbread biscuits, Veg Sicilia offers a combination of millet, Maiorca wheat and cocoa. An appealing choice for anyone looking for biscuits with a distinctive flavour, to enjoy as part of everyday life or to share during a pleasant break.
