Will Rich Tea biscuits be OK for a Banofee Pie base?

Oops!

I have just crushed a whole packet of rich tea, thinking they were digestives

Will these do the trick for a banofee pie base, or should I use digestives?...........

I probably wouldn't actually

I think they run the risk of going a bit soggy as they are much finer than digestives. Am racking my brain to think of a use for crushed rich tea bics!

I agree with fifitrix, I would be quite disappointed to dive into my biscuit base and find rich tea instead of buttery digestives which I think are much richer than rich tea?

Oh dear, I'm very impatient...

Well I've mixed them with digestives, my mum seemed to think they woud be OK, I will report back tomorrow when my guests tuck in!

thank so much for your responses <worried smiley>

I think it will be absolutely fine...I answered on the basis of preference but Im sure the pud will taste great...a puds a pud!!! xx

Reporting back...

You were right Nics, it didn't quite bind as well as digestives, not a disaster but could have been better.

A mistake I won't make again!

Thanks again for your advice
