Ingredients:

3 egg whites ½ tsp. vanilla extract

¼ tsp. cream of tartar ½ cup white sugar

¼. tsp. salt

Directions

1. Combine sugar, flour, salt, cocoa in a 2 qt. sauce pan. Stir well, then add milk. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble. Continue stirring for 2 minutes.

2. Mix a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, beating rapidly to avoid cooking the yolks. Stir the warm yolk mixture into the remainder of the chocolate mixture, and cook for an additional 90 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla.
