1-1/2 cups sugar1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups water
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
5 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
Whipped topping and baking cocoa, optional
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Whisk 1 cup hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the pan; bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool slightly. Pour warm filling into crust. Cool for 1 hour. Chill until set. If desired, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa to serve.
