Sadly, poor recipe transcription is extremely commonplace at food websites (and not just Food52). A quick Google search points to this recipe elsewhere:
The Food52 recipe is critically missing 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
In the future, I suggest you contact the recipe author directly if you find a discrepancy. This also serves to alert the recipe author to correct his or her errors, wherever he/she posted the recipe.
