Title: Best chocolate pudding or pie - mom
 Categories: Desserts, Pies, Puddings
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      3    Squares unsweetened
           -chocolate, chopped up
  2 1/2 c  Cold milk
  1 1/3 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Flour
    1/2 ts Salt
      2 tb Butter
      3    Egg yolks; well beaten
      1 ts Vanilla
 
  Add chopped up chocolate to the milk in a double boiler and heat to
  melt. Beat until blended. Sift sugar, flour and salt together and add
  a small amount of the hot chocolate to it and stir. Now pour this
  mixture into the double boiler with the rest of the hot chocolate and
  stir. Add 2 T. butter to this and cook with constant stirring for 10
  mins. longer. Pour a small amount of this cooked mixture over the
  well beaten egg yolks while stirring vigorously to keep from cooking
  the eggs and immediately pour this back into double boiler and stir
  and cook until thick. Watch carefully. When starting to thicken,
  remove from heat and add the vanilla and stir. Cool in a baked pie
  shell for pie or in 6-8 pyrex cups for pudding, This method of
  pouring back and forth with stirring helps prevent lumps from
  forming. MERINGUE: 3 egg whites beaten with 6 T. sugar if wanted on
  pie. I prefer it plain with maybe a little vanilla ice cream on the
  side. Very rich and yummy!
  
  Serving Ideas : As pudding, serve with milk. As pie, with small ice
  cream.
  
  NOTES : This is really a pie filling, but makes the absolutely BEST
  chocolate pudding imaginable when allowed to set up in 8 pyrex custard
  cups. Recipe
