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.

    Can substitute pumpkin pie spice for mixed spice, and maple syrup for golden syrup.

    The first thing I noted about this recipe is how small the quantities are - this makes 14 medium-sized biscuits, which I love. There are only two of us and I am often overwhelmed by recipes that make 36 or more biscuits. They are very quick and simple to make and taste good - it's a simple, crunchy ginger biscuit. The recipe says that they don't keep their crispness but I made them yesterday and they are still very crunchy today.
