Our teenage son, John, has done lots of 4-H baking, reports Mary Anderson of De Valls Bluff, Arkansas. His favorite is this old-fashioned creamy chocolate pudding in a flaky crust.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups water
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
5 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
whipped topping
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Whisk 1 cup hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the pan; bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
2. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool slightly. Pour warm filling into pastry shell. Cool for 1 hour. Chill until set. Just before serving, garnish with whipped topping. Yield: 6-8 servings.
