Chocolate Pudding Pie


1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup sugar
5 T flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 beaten egg yolks (I think I’ve used 1 egg + 1 yolk)
scant 2 cups milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 T butter

Combine cocoa, sugar, flour & salt in a heavy saucepan.
Add egg, milk & vanilla. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently for about 10 min. or until mixture thickens.
Remove from heat & stir in butter. Let cool a bit before pouring into pie shell.

Top with whipped cream.

Note from mom 3/2020: I think this is the choc. pudding I have been using - not the one in the cook book (chocolate pudding).
