In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps, and the mixture is smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, to prevent sticking or scorching at the bottom.
Continue cooking until the gravy begins to thicken, about 7-8 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon but still pour easily.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and incorporated.
Allow the chocolate gravy to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm over freshly baked biscuits, pancakes, or waffles.
