Ingredients

1 unbaked pie shell

Top Part:

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter or shortening

1/2 cup milk

1 egg, beaten

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Lower part:

4 tablespoons cocoa

1/2 cup sugar

6 tablespoons water

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Top part:

Cream together sugar and butter or shortening.

Combine the milk and egg alternately with the flour and baking powder. Mix well.

Add the vanilla and mix well again.

Set aside until lower part is mixed.

Lower part:

Mix together the cocoa, sugar, water and vanilla.

Pour into the unbaked pie shell.

Over this, pour the top part.

The chocolate will come up around the outside edge, but that gives it a nice crusty edge on the finished product!

Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until firm. (Do the toothpick test)
