Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk, (I used 1%, but whole would work well too)
  • 2 ounces chocolate, high quality
  • 3 large egg yolks, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method
 

  1. 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).
  2. Heat up milk in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  3. Add milk gradually, then add in chocolate. Cook until thick, stirring constantly.
  4. 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.
  5. Cook for 2-5 more minutes, then cool. When almost cool, stir in vanilla and butter.
