Grandma's Chocolate Pie

This is my grandmother's recipe for chocolate pie, I can remember being able to smell her cooking it from outside and I would come running.

Chocolate Pie

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. cocoa
• 3 Tbsp. flour

Add:

• 1 1/3 cups milk

Beat in:

• 2 egg yolks (reserve white for topping)

Cook until thick, remove from heat and add:

• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 tsp. butter

Put in unbaked pie shell. Bake until crust is done

If you want, you can beat the egg whites to make a meringue. Put on pie and bake 7 - 8 minutes (until meringue is done).

Pie Meringue

• 2 egg whites
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 6 Tbsp. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla flavoring

I usually make 2 pies and have the Double recipe handy:
