Recipe - Chocolate Egg Yolk Pudding

3 Squares ( 3 ounce ) unsweetened
chocolate
1 cup Sugar
1 tablespoon Flour
One fourth teaspoon Salt
2 cup Milk; scalded
5 Egg yolks; beaten
One half teaspoon Vanilla

This is a recipe out of META GIVEN'S MODERN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COOKING::

I got this when I got married 50 years ago. I haven't made it in a long
time. It calls for 5 egg yolks, but back then who was concerned about
cholesterol? I may make it trying egg substitute. But here is the recipe.

Melt chocolate over hot water; mix sugar, flour and salt, and blend with
chocolate. Stir in 1 cup of the hot milk and beat until smooth; then cook
over direct heat until mixture boils, stirring constantly. Stir rest of hot
milk slowly into beaten egg yolks; add to chocolate mixture and cook 3
minutes longer over boiling water, stirring constantly. Remove from heat
and stir in vanilla. Cool and serve plain or with cream. 5 servings. This
is an excellent way of using leftover egg yolks. Posted to TNT Prodigy's
