In response to the Copha questions away, way back on page 10 of this thread (Chocolate Pretzels recipe), Copha isn't generally easily available outside Australia. It's 100% pure hydrogenated coconut fat :-D Good stuff! Entire generations of Australians have been brought up on it! I went hunting once to see if I could find a UK equivalent but the closest suggestion I could find was to buy a tin of coconut milk/cream, let it sit for a while (not sure how long - until the water separates from the fat), then drain off the water and use the remaining creamy solidy bit. I don't think butter would be an appropriate substitute because you'd lose the coconutty flavour. Hope this helps someone!

well now, I think we have an absent-minded spambot, who forgets to post links with their repeating sentence.

Self raising is all purpose flour with baking powder added.  To make your own just add 2 tsp of baking powder to each cup of flour.

Hi Juanjleslie,  and welcome to the forum from me too. 

I agree with Eddie, baking with kids is great, in fact my children never had playdoh.  If they wanted to do something like that, I'd make a batch of cookie dough (often with their help ), they'd play with it for a while, then eat the end results, though I always kept some dough back so we would have some uncontaminated cookies to eat
