2cupsmilk,(I used 1%, but whole would work well too)
2ounceschocolate,high quality
3largeegg yolks,slightly beaten
1/2teaspoonvanilla
2tablespoonsbutter
Instructions
Mix flour, sugar and salt in the top of a double broiler (or put one pot inside of another with water in the bottom pot).
Heat up milk in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Add milk gradually, then add in chocolate. Cook until thick, stirring constantly.
Add a small amount of the hot mixture to the egg yolks (to get the temperature of the eggs up so that they don't scramble in the pudding- this is called tempering). Then stir this mixture into the rest of the hot mixture.
Cook for 2-5 more minutes, then cool. When almost cool, stir in vanilla and butter.
