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 this as the crust for the Serious Eats Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche. Not my favorite recipe as it requires dirtying the food processor AND another large bowl -- I prefer recipes where the water is added in the food processor at well and I don't understand why this is transferred first and then mixed by hand at the end -- I guess to avoid overworking the dough? Unnecessary, in my opinion. It made a nice flaky crust but not any better than other more straightforward techniques I've used. Have the other half already rolled out in the freezer now for something else!
