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.

    Crumbly, salty-sweet shortbread, soooo lovely! Instead of going for one of the suggested flavour options (lemon or cinnamon which are only optional anyway and probably shouldn't be in the EYB ingredients list?), I used lavender flowers, which was heavenly. I didn't roll out the dough but made a slightly more rustic biscuit by rolling a small ball and flattening it out a bit; resulting in slightly longer baking time. Well worth it all and will be making again.
