CHOCOLATE FILLING

This is a recipe for a chocolate filling that you can use in other recipes.

• 1 cup of milk,
• Pinch of salt,
• 1 ½ squares of Baker's Chocolate,
• 2 level tablespoonfuls of flour,
• 2 eggs (yolks),
• 5 tablespoonfuls of sugar (level),
• 1 teaspoonful of vanilla.

Put milk, salt and chocolate in upper part of the double-boiler, and when hot and smooth, stir in the flour, which has been mixed with enough cold milk to be thin enough to pour into the hot milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens; then let it cook eight or ten minutes. Mix the eggs and sugar together and pour the hot mixture over them, stirring well; put back in double-boiler and cook, stirring constantly one minute. Remove, and when cool add one teaspoonful of vanilla.
