INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar
• 6 Tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups scalded milk
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 9-inch baked pastry shell
• 2 ounces (2 squares) chocolate

DIRECTIONS

• Mix 2/3 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Add chocolate to milk after scalding milk and when melted, beat until smooth. Gradually stir in milk into sugar mixture and set over hot water. Stir until thoroughly thickened. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, stirring a few times to keep smooth.
• Blend a small amount of hot mixture into slightly beaten egg yolks. Combine with mixture in double boiler. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add butter and vanilla.
• Cool slightly. Pour into cooled, baked pastry shell. Cover with meringue made by gradually beating 1/3 cup sugar into stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in moderate oven (350°F.) until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Chill.
• Note: Meringue may be omitted and pie served with whipped cream. If pie is made with only 2 eggs, reduce sugar to 3/4 cup.
