Prep: 1 hour 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. In the top of a double boiler combine flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, salt, and broken up chocolate squares, heat until chocolate melts, stirring constantly until uniformly mixed into the dry ingredients.
2. Blend in milk gradually to assure a smooth mixture. Cook over boiling water until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Blend several spoonfuls of the hot filling into the three slightly beaten egg yolks to temper, then add back into the hot mixture. Cook 2 minutes longer stirring constantly. Remove for heat, stir in vanilla and butter until blended.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Prepare meringue while the filling cools by beating egg whites and vinegar. Add sugar gradually and beat till mixture peaks.
