Old family recipe for the simplest, best, real pie (or puddin' if you don't feel like making crust). Ingredients:
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
2/3 cup white sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 cups milk |
3 egg yolks, beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked |
3 egg whites, slightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
10 tablespoons white sugar |
Directions:
1. In 2 quart saucepan, sift and mix together flour, cocoa, 2/3 cup sugar and salt. Whisk in milk. Over medium heat, and stirring constantly, cook until it reaches pudding thickness. Remove from heat.
2. Very quickly beat in egg yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla and butter; beating briskly until completely mixed and smooth. Cool in pan.
3. Pour into baked, cooled pie shell. Top with meringue.
4. Meringue: chill beaters and bowl. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. With electric mixer on high, beat 3 egg whites and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to stiff peaks. While still beating egg whites, add 10 tablespoons sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
6. Spread meringue over pie, and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 minutes or until meringue turns pale brown. Remove from oven. Place on level, draft-free area at least 30 minutes to cool before serving.
