What is the best biscuit for coffee dunking?

[cunsh]

Many years have passed since I drank my first cup of tea and I have only recently discovered the delights of dunking me biscuits in it. My favourite would have to be the ginger nut, by far. However, ginger nuts do not go terribly well with coffee, and the question I ask is this: "What is the best biscuit for coffee dunking?"

There are some biscuits called Timtams or something. They are a bit like penguin bars. You're supposed to bite both ends off, suck some coffee through the chocolatey middle bit, then eat it. Yum!

I always liked the Bourbons and Chocolate digestives!  Proper shortbread are always nice too! :)

[Mancunian]

Chocolate and Plain Digestives are excellent.

bourbon creams for coffee and yes gingernuts are fab in tea.

I am a British Accademy of Dunkers And Secret Slurpers member and for me at least, a Rich Tea biscuit, clorted in margarine IS THE BIZ for dunking!.......

I love Tim tams for coffee dunking coz it just doesnt taste the same in tea but i also love mcvities chocolate digestives. Milk or plain! mmm!

Chocolate Hob Nobs dunked in coffee, especially 2 sandwiched together (choc side together). YUM!

The Bedfordshire Acadamy of Dunkers!

Custard Creams dunked in tea - heaven!

I've had two stomach ulcers, so no longer drink coffee!

Shortbread is just behind ginger nuts as the ultimate in dunking technology.

I feel fully qualified to answer here - I have given lessons in said a subject for many years now, although not an affiliate to any dunking contingency - I see myself as a wandering dunking budda (without the stomach): the path to enlightenment is a short boil of the kettle away.

My preferred weapon of choice is the Rich Tea. It's what the biscuit was designed for. Don't go for the fingers - it's a convenience cop out for pensioners. The purist uses the round variety. I purchased a Jumbo mug specifically for the task of taking a whole biscuit at once.

Heed must be taken as mentioned in Rule 1 (the Golden Rule) by the Academy of Deep Dunking � <!> Know your biscuit � depending on width will depend on how long biscuits can be immersed. I have heard rumour that the Rich Tea is deemed to be useless for dunking due to it�s willingness to collapse so rapidly � but this is why only the experienced can master the art. We have all sat, spoon in hand scooping out chunks of soggy mush from the bottom of life�s cup. But perseverance leads to mastery.
 
1. Immerse biscuit
2. Wait � but only a matter of seconds-with practice comes knowledge.
3. Raise biscuit and in one smooth motion, allow a single drop back down to shake excess liquid.
4. On the returning upstroke, use gravitational forces to swing biscuit into an upright position and balance. (experts here can even give the biscuit a small wiggle to check level of absorption! But first we must walk before we run)
5. Devour biscuit and reach for another
I have met suicidal fools who have played games � or �Chicken� as I have heard it referred, whereby two combatants hold a biscuit in place to see who dares stay immersed longest. As I say though, the dunking experience should be enjoyed and these so called games should be saved for thrill seekers ... Base jumpers  � adrenalin junkies and the like.

The is a biscuit that is made by Simmers called "Abernethy".....they are totally AMAZING when dunked in coffee, tea, hot chocolate and even "happy coffees".

They come in a red packet......last seen is Asda.

I'd say Malted Milk's (or Sports) for tea, Hob Nob's for coffee and Digestives (milk chocolate or plain-no-choc as dark choc is ugh!) for either.

[smudge]

Just popped back - I was also going to say Malted milk biscuits - yummy!

I have to confess, the only biscuits I dunk these days are Sainsburys Tea Fingers. I don't buy any others - far too tempting!

hi there, after an australian holiday where i quickly got addicted to the timtam dunking method ive discovered a better version! fox's chocolate rocky biscuits - same procedure, bite both ends off and suck some coffee through - wait for the biscuit to go all mushy and the chocolate to start melting.....

[ElsieD]

Personally, I'd take it on a level and use Vin santo and cantuccini. Same texture, but with alcohol...
