CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Put two squares of unsweetened chocolate in double boiler, add two cupsful of cold milk, and bring to the scalding point. Mix thoroughly one-fourth of a cupful of sugar, three tablespoonsful of cornstarch, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and pour on one-fourth of a cupful of milk gradually, while stirring constantly. Add to milk which was scalded with chocolate, and cook fifteen minutes, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and afterward occasionally. Add one-half of a teaspoonful of vanilla and turn into a serving dish. Chill and serve.
