 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    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.
