This recipe was taken from my second husband's cookbook. In his book it was attributed to a Mildred Seyforts. Wherever you are Mildred. Thank You! A million times Thank you! This has been a Holiday staple for over 20 years now in my house.
1/2 c Sugar
2 Tbsp Cocoa powder (the unsweetened kind and you want them HEAPING)
2 Tbsp Cornstarch (a little bit heaping, not measured flat)
1 Tbsp Flour
pinch of Salt
3 Egg yolks
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp Butter
3 C Milk
Single BAKED Pie Crust
Mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, flour and salt in a pot (heavy bottom is best)
Add enough milk to make paste and set burner on med low
Add egg yolks when the paste has warmed (but is not hot!)
Add rest of milk, butter, and vanilla
Cook on med low to med until thick (And I mean THICK, stir often so it does not stick or burn)
Pour into baked pie shell, cool
Refrigerate or keep cool, serve with whipped cream
