6 oz. (1 cup) brown sugar
1 egg
7 ozs. (1&3/4 cups [sic]) self-raising flour
1/2 level teaspoon salt
3 level tablespoons cocoa
4 ozs. Copha
Method: Place in basin sugar, egg, and half sifted flour, salt and cocoa. Melt Copha over gentle heat. It should be warm, not hot (test with fingertip). Add Copha to ingredients in basin and beat 2 minutes. Add remaining flour and mix to combine ingredients evenly. Shape into small balls and place on greased trays. Press peanut halves into each to represent the petals of a flower. Bake in a moderate oven for about 15 minutes. Store in airtight containers when cold. Makes 2&1/2 to 3 dozen.
