 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.
