Granny's Chocolate Pudding

This was my great grandmother's recipe (with slight modifications), and I frequently get asked for it.  I usually make it as just pudding or as pie with a graham cracker crust.  Granny usually made it in a traditional pie crust with meringue.

1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons corn starch
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
pinch salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk (2% or whole)
4 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine dry ingredients in a heavy saucepan.  Mix in eggs and gradually whisk in milk.  Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently.  Once pudding thickens, remove from heat.  Stir in butter and vanilla.  Pour into your choice of receptacle.  Chill, eat, and enjoy!
