TWO PIES ...
MMmmm! Can't go wrong with chocolate pie!! We made some while we were in Atlanta and they were so delicious that I had to make them when I got home. I was a good girl though. I did send one up the street for a neighbors birthday. The other ... I let Chip have a piece :) This recipe is super easy. It would have to be for me to make it. Although I have noticed that the three recipes I have actually taken the time to write down in my recipe book all involve CHOCOLATE!
1 1/2 cups Sugar
3 cups Milk (we use one can evaporated milk and then finish with regular milk)
3 heaping TBSP Cocoa
3 heaping TBSP Flour (does not matter if it is all purpose or self-rising)
4 Eggs SEPARATED
1 stick Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
2 Pie Crusts (not deep dish)
*brown pie crusts
*Combine the flour, sugar and cocoa in a large saucepan. You might want to sift this to keep out the lumps - but I am lazy so I did not.
*Add in egg yolks, milk, and butter. Cook on MEDIUM to MED-HI until it starts to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
*divide into two pie crusts.
MIX YOUR MERINGUE! I tried whipping it by hand and gave up --- break out the electric mixer!
Meringue is your 4 Egg Whites and 3 TBSP Sugar. Whip until it forms soft peaks (Mom told me STIFF peaks, so lets go with stiff - but if you just can't wait to get to the eating then soft will do).
*Cover pie with meringue
*bake at 350 degrees until top starts to turn golden.
These are best after they have completely cooled and spent some time in the fridge.
