Directions: |
Directions:In a *pan, melt a teaspoon of butter, and with the stove on a medium heat put 2 cups of milk in. While it is heating mix together, the sugar, corn starch, salt, cocoa, and two beaten egg yolks. Pour the remaining 3/4 cup of milk into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. When the milk on the stove gets hot, add the cocoa mixture into it and stir until it thickens, take off burner and add the vanilla and blend well. Cool then cover with a lid, foil or plastic. This keeps it from forming a skin on top. When it is cool divide it into bowls and enjoy!!
*a cast iron skillet works great |

Notes: Mama used to make this often for her family as a snack before going to bed. She gave those of us that wanted it, a piece of buttered toast to enjoy with the pudding. If we had any cream, canned cream, we would put some on our cooled pudding. We loved it. You don't want to keep any in the pan, it tends to take on the taste of the pan if you use the cast iron, so if you aren't going to eat it for awhile after it's cooled, pour it into a bowl to cool. It didn't matter how much Mama made, it was never enough. She made vanilla once in awhile but chocolate was a favorite. She cooled it just long enough to still be warm, but easy to eat without burning your mouth. If she left it and went to do something else, out of the kitchen, we, any of us, loved to take a taste, of course this shorted the amount left, so the culprit got less than the rest. If we were the lucky one, we got a spoon and cleaned out any pudding left in the pan and/or the spoon she used to stir and divide.
*To make vanilla pudding don't add the cocoa*
