I actually have my Mom's Better Homes Gardens cook book c. 1970 :-} Following is the recipe: 1 c. sugar 1/3 c. all-purpose flour or 3 Tbsp. cornstarch 1/4 tsp. salt 2 c. milk Chop 2 1-oz. squares unsweetened chocolate; add with milk. 3 slightly beaten egg yolks 2 Tbsp butter {or margarine} 1 tsp. vanilla 9 baked pastry shell 1 Meringue recipe {follows} In saucepan combine sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in milk with chopped chocolate. Cook and stir over med. heat till mixture boils and thickens. Cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir small amt hot mixture into yolks; return to hot mixture; cook 2 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla; cool to room temp. {To prevent a crust from forming, put clear plastic wrap or waxed paper directly on top, touching surface of hot pudding clear to sides of bowl.} Pour into baked pastry shell Meringue: Beat 3 egg whites with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar and 1/2 tsp vanilla til soft peaks form. Gradually add 6 Tbsp. sugar, beating til stiff peaks form and all sugar is dissolved. Spread atop pie, sealing to pastry. Bake in moderate oven {350} about 12 to 15 mins or til meringue is golden. Yuummmmmm!!!! :-}
