The pudding

To make this pudding is a test of patience. It's really very easy. You will need:
  • 3/4cup Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoon flour
  • 3 Tablespoon Cocoa
  • 2 cups Milk (for best results use whole)
  • 2 egg yolks (if you like meringue I recommend saving the whites for such)
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
Combine all of these ingredients into a pan and bring to a boil. Here is the tricky part you must stir the entire time. Your wrist may get tired I don't care don't stop stirring the moment you do you will burn the bottom of your pudding. I made a pie with this pudding last night and while cooking I took a few shots to show you the changes the pudding goes through.


When you first start stirring
Right before it begins to boil
Desired thickness in a pie shell



  
My finished pie with homemade whip cream
So there are a few things I should note. One thing is that hot pudding is awesome. Also hot pudding is scalding hot you will curse yourself if you try to just grab a little bit for a taste, keep in mind it was just boiling and it's thick for whatever reason it makes it worse. One more thing if you plan on putting a topping on
the pudding/filling give it plenty of time to cool.
