Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 c Flour, all purpose
1 lb Butter, soft
1 c Fruit sugar
1 c Sifted rice flour
1/2 lb Belgian chocolate

Spread the all-purpose flour on a cookie sheet and
place under a pre-heated broiler about 4-5 inches from
the element. Roast the flour, watching it all the
time until it is medium brown. Turn the flour with a
spatula to brown the other side. The entire procedure
takes about three minutes and gives the flour a rich
nutty flavour. Let the flour cool. Mix the soft
butter with the fruit sugar and add the sifted rice
flour. Fold in the roasted flour and blend well. Chop
the chocolate into chunks just a little smaller than a
sugar cube. Mix them into the dough, taking care you
don't soften the chocolate too much. Shape as
desired. Bake at 300F for 1 hour. Cool, then store
in an airtight container. Yield depends upon size and
shape.
