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

    At first I didn't think the dough was going to work. It didn't seem very lively, it was very wet, and it was extremely hard to get the gluten developed because so much fat is added so early on. However! The finished buns have an extremely fine, soft crumb. Absolutely beautiful. I wish there was a little better caramel coverage - i may increase the "goo" by 15% next time.
