It’s one way she still lives. 1/4 cup cocoa powder 3/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup flour 1/4 tsp salt 3 cups milk 1 tsp vanilla 1 tablespoon butter Scald 2-1/2 cups of the milk. Blend the dry ingredients until evenly mixed. Stir in the 1/2 milk ubtil smooth. Stir this carefully into the scalded milk. Cook until thick, stirring to be sure it doesn’t scorch._(I put it in the top of a double boiler to cook)_ When thickened take it from the fir and stir in vanilla and butter. It can then be poured into serving dishes. As a pie I poured it into a baked crust and chilled it, then topped with slightly sweetened whipped cream. When Kool Whip came out grandma was satisfied to us that, but I love real cream on some things. This pudding is very versatile. If you make it let me know how it comes out. To me it’s a taste of my childhood. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-be-labor-ing-a-point-an-end-of-meteorological-summer-mmp/1006602)._
