1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons cocoa |
1/8 teaspoon salt |

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 baked (9-inch) pastry shell |

Directions:
1. Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt in a large heavy saucepan, stirring to remove lumps. Gradually add scalded milk, stirring until well blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Cook an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
