Mom's Chocolate Pudding

Combine
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 1/2 tblsp cocoa
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp of salt

Add
3 tblsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk

Stir and fold into lightly greased 8" sq pan or dish.

Sprinkle evenly with a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar & 2 tblsp of cocoa.

Pour 1 or 1- 1/2 cups of hot water slowly over dish. Do not stir - this is the sauce.

Bake @ 350F for 25-30 mins.

Enjoy responsibly.

I used 1-1/2 cups of hot water and baked it for a little longer (35 mins) and it stilled seemed kind of wet. I guess you just have to judge by how hot your oven gets.

UPDATE: After the pudding sat for awhile it was perfect. A few hours later I reheated it and it came out great. A fine winter evening indulgence.
