Deep South Chocolate Pie

Serving Size : 8
Preparation Time :0:35
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 cups milk
4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 stick margarine
--- Meringue: ---
4 egg whites
8 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 pinch cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla -- optional
Beat egg yolks. Mix sugar, flour, cocoa and milk together. Blend and add to
egg yolks. Chip up the margarine into small pieces and add to the egg mixture;
add vanilla and blend. Cook over medium heat until margarine is melted, stirring
constantly. Pour into unbaked pie crust and bake in preheated 350-degree oven
until firm and pastry is browned (about 30 minutes). Check since time will vary.
MERINGUE: In large mixing bowl, combine egg whites and pinch of cream of
tartar. Beat until stiff but not dry. If you desire, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Mix 8 tablespoons sugar with 4 tablespoons cornstarch and gradually add to egg
whites. Beat well for at least five minutes, as mixing too little will cause the
meringue to separate. Spread on top of pie, sealing to edges. Bake for few
minutes until meringue is light golden brown. Cool a few minutes before slicing.
Serving Ideas : Best when served chilled.
