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

    This was a fun Easter project treat, however, they didn't really live up to the hype. The instructions were very easy to follow and very thorough (it is ATK after all), but the end result left something lacking. I will admit, I didn't grow up eating these, so I don't have the nostalgia that most do. The dough balls were pretty dry after the completed dessert sat for a few hours covered, and despite buying a very good quality orange blossom honey, this was just way too sweet for our tastes. I did follow the recommendation of many posters on their site to add both lemon and orange zest to the dough, which I would also recommend. This was fun to make, but I won't be making them again.
