Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I find these work best if you double the amount of chilli, a teaspoon of flakes rather than a half, and bake for about five minutes longer than the recipe suggests. I've also made them using half plain and half wholemeal flour.

    These were nice - easy to make and tasted good served with cheese - and I will make again. I used the full amount of chilli flakes and the flavour was still quite mild, so don't shy away from the chilli. I also neglected to sprinkle the optional sea salt over the top, which I think would have improved the flavour a touch. Next time I might try a little extra olive oil to see how that affects the flavour. These needed slightly longer in the oven although it is difficult to judge when done.
