Easy Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white sugar
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup corn starch
1/8 tsp salt
2 3/4 cups milk
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla

Mix the sugar, cocoa powder, corn starch and salt together in the bottom of a heavy saucepan. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Continue to whisk and cook until it is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Take it off the burner and mix in the butter and vanilla. Pour into a bowl or serving dishes to cool.

*hint* If you lay plastic wrap across the top of the pudding it will prevent it from getting a skin.
