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.

    Made the variation which was mashed potato instead of breadcrumbs or soaked bread. From how the recipe was written, I assumed it was its own recipe and did not follow the base recipe. Unfortunately, without the egg from the original, the patties were fragile and did not want to hold together. They were, however, extremely tasty!

    I’ve always wanted to try an authentic, original hamburger from Hamburg and getting this cookbook for Christmas gave me that opportunity. This is a find. The recipe (which includes butter, eggs, and flour- not in ingredient list) makes a juicy, flavorful hamburger patty. The sautéed onions and beef stock gravy toppings add to it. We had ketchup and mustard on the table but never felt the inkling to add it. Definitely takes ground beef meat to the next level. Will repeat.
