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

    These are incredible. The buns were light, fluffy, and perfectly cooked at 20 minutes. I added a teaspoon of "buttery sweet dough" extract when making the buns, but I'm sure they'd be delicious without it; the saffron is really a genius touch. I also added a small dribble of maple extract to the maple syrup, just to bring the maple flavor in balance with the cardamom. For the garnish, I used nigella seeds (this was terrific), but I'm betting sesame seeds would be really good, too. Finally, I found that the buns needed to removed from the pan and brushed on all sides with the syrup to promote the absorption. This recipe is really wonderful: different and yet comforting at the same time.
