Accompaniment

Method

1
1. Make the pudding first because it thickens as it cools.

2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and cocoa powder.

3. Pulverize the mixture with the back of a spoon to remove all lumps.

4. Stir in milk. As heat takes over mixture, the bubbles will disappear and the powders will incorporate into the liquid.

5. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.

6. Turn the heat down to medium low. Pour some of the chocolate mixture into two
beaten egg yolks and pour the egg mixture back into the pan. This "tempers" the eggs
