Ideally a good quality vegetable oil, unless you're rich and can use
olive oil! Don't know what chilli flakes brand are I just buy the ones
I see. Maldon salt is best, or any sea or rock salt.

Appreciate the update no comment on the rich part I always ask if
someone uses a certain brand I have to special order a certain brand of
flour called three rivers from the Kentucky, USA area it has a unique taste
to it and makes my baking extra special. I have added this recipe to my
cook book going to try it tonight
