5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 eggs, beaten

¾ cup evaporated milk

½ cup (1 stick) margarine, melted

1 unbaked pie shell (1 deep-dish or 2 regular)

Preheat the oven to 325°. In a medium-size mixing bowl combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and flour. Add the eggs, milk, and margarine. Blend well. Pour into the unbaked pie shell. Bake for 45 minutes for regular pies or about 1 hour for a deep-dish pie (or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean).
