Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and a pinch of salt until well combined and free of lumps.
Slowly stir in the whole milk, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, to prevent scorching. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Once the gravy has thickened to the desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the butter is completely melted and the gravy is smooth and glossy.
Serve the warm chocolate gravy over freshly baked biscuits for a classic Southern breakfast. Enjoy!
