Chocolate Gravy
Makes about 2 cups, which is at least 1 serving for me, but about 4 servings for normal folks.
Note: Gravy thickens as it sits and cools. Thin it with a little more milk if needed.
Ingredients
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
2 cups whole milk (warmed)
2 tablespoons butter, cubed (try to use real butter, margarine doesn’t do as well)
Biscuits, for serving
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
2 cups whole milk (warmed)
2 tablespoons butter, cubed (try to use real butter, margarine doesn’t do as well)
Biscuits, for serving
Sift the cocoa, sugar, flour, and salt into a large skillet, preferably cast-iron. Add the milk in a slow, steady stream, whisking until smooth.
Cook chocolate mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the gravy thickens to the consistency of thin pudding, about 8 minutes. The gravy will thicken around the edge first, so keep it stirred up from the bottom and sides.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drop in the butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Serve the warm gravy with the biscuits.
